Question 1

Walking

Answer 1

<12, record how many steps can do independently
18+ straight line, stairs, hurdles, pull a toy, pick up objects from floor, walk in all directions and along a line (4y) and heel-toe walking (from 6y)

Question 2

run

Answer 2

= trunk/arm mvmt, pelvic/hip control, spring
18 = trot
2 = poor spring, lots of body mvmt>2.5=less mvmt, more spring but falls with speed, 3 = fwds and backwds indoors > 4 = efficiently indoors and ojut., turn on spot, negotiate corners> 6. Runs well, turns quickly on spot, commences running backwards

Question 3

complex gait

Answer 3

complex gait (skipping, galloping, directional skipping) ALTERNATE LEGS, COORDINATE SKIPPING, RYTHMICAL PATTERM = higher level of coordination and timing = <5 one foot leading gallop, 5 = 5y should be able to skip with alternate feet, evenly with adequate rhythm, 6 = change timing with cues

Question 4

complex gait Ax

Answer 4

Ax = start both with skipping, <5, can’t show gallop, if above 5+ = Action: ask and encourage child to skip, alternating legs for approximately 3meters (this may require demonstration).

Question 5

Squat

Answer 5

= 15months – pick up toy,
Abnormal = only stoops = poor muscle strength or length, . Rapid decline or incline (with knee hyperextension) may indicate poor muscle strength and control

Question 6

SLS

Answer 6

SLS = Unable to stand on one leg is often a reason for more detailed assessment to determine source of problem (unable to integrate bilateral positive support), excessive trunk, hip, knee or arm movements to maintain balance, asymmetrical, associated reactions (eg. poking out tongue indicates it’s a difficult task).
6yo = cross arms of hands on hips

Question 7

jump

Answer 7

4yrs over 15cm rope – from static with 2 feet together
18 months = hands held > 2yrs = one feet leading and INDEPENDANT = 3yrs two feet landing > 4yrs broad jump over 15cm rope
height and consequtive jumps

Question 8

jump prog

Answer 8

If the child is able to complete a broad jump over the 15cm rope with a controlled landing and no overbalancing (can use a marker and explain the child must ‘stick’ the landing) then increase the height of the rope to 30cm. May also test jumping from steps in older children

Question 9

Hop

Answer 9

= knee ext and contra k flx , hop rhythmically, adequate spring and control
3yrs = 3 hops on good leg, arms abducted > 4yrs = 5 on both > 5yrs, 10 on both, arms by side, ON SPOT, 6yrs is direction
COUNT NO. OF CONSEQUTIVE JUMPS !!!
Ax: 3+ do sideways jumps

Question 10

Ball skills

Answer 10

= PREPARATION = child must prepare for throw or catch by adjusting their technique or posture. Errors = use fdbck to adjust technique/posture
Ax = 2y = have on matt, 4+, underarm throw to child 1.8m away and record out of 10, how many hands, size then get them to throw to target either on floor (-10) or on wall 10+
