hydrocephalous is obstruction of CSF and backing up of fluid in the brain
What is a shunt
Tube that connects from CSF in brain and bypasses to the abdomen
Symptoms of shunt failure
in infant - head changes shape because of soft skull
sunsetting of eyes
lethargic
fever vomiting headache
personality change/irritability

Orthotics for spina bifida L1-2
Have some hip flexion intact, so KAFO with walker or forearm crutches
mostly WC tho d/t high energy expenditure
Functional diagnosis for spina bifida L1-2
WC for all mobility except physiologic benefits
Functional diagnosis for spina bifida L3
Strong hip flexion, weak hip rotators, partial quad innervation
WC for all mobility except physiologic benefits
Orthotics for spina bifida L3

if less than 4/5 KAFO with walker/forearm crutches
if more than 4/5 AFO walker/forearm crutches

GMFCS scale
Level 1 - can run and jump, climb stairs with **NO RAILING, basically most activities but may be slower and more clumsy
decreased speed balance and coordination
Level 2 - can climb stairs **WITH RAILING, minimal running or jumping, difficulty with uneven surfaces or crowds - forearm crutch
Level 3 - manual of power WC - limitation in home and community
Level 4 - power mobility
Level 5 - severe
Level 1 GMFCS
can run and jump, climb stairs with no AD, basically most activities but may be slower and more clumsy
decreased speed balance and coordination
Level 2 GMFCS
can climb stairs **WITH RAILING, minimal running or jumping, difficulty with uneven surfaces or crowds
Level 3 GMFCS
walks with AD and may propel a manual wheelchair for longer distances
Level 4 GMFCS
walking ability severely limited but may go short distances
WC most of the time with some use of power
struggle with standing transfer
Level 5 GMFCS
Power wheelchair dependendent
struggle to stand
CP prognosis is good if child is walking by age

If you see motor decline and head tilr with DS…

Erbs Palsy vs Klumpkes palsy
Erbs C5-C6
Klumpkes C8-T1
Prognosis for DMD
X linked recessive
2-5 years at diagnosus
Lose ability to walk after 10-12 years
Lifespan to approx 20
Normal development of independent sitting
6-7 months
Normal development of independent pivot in sitting
8-9 months
Normal development of Independently transition from standing to sitting
8-9 months
Moro vs startle refelx
moro = extension and abduction of arms with crying followed by flexion and adduction across patients chest
stimulus is sudden change in position of head or trunk
startle = same as moro but without flexion/adduction of arms
stimulus is sudden noise
ATNR
extension of arm and leg on side of head turn
Stimulus for ATNR
head turn
Normal integration of ATNR
4-5 months
begins in utero to help baby twist and turn in birth canal
Problems that arise if ATNR is not integrated by 4-5 months
trouble rolling, midline use of hands, feeding, delayed tracking and fine motor skills - think about it – its hard to isolate movements when everytime your head moves your arm moves
prone propping, crawling, sitting balance,
Stimulus for STNR
head position into flexion or extension
Normal integration of STNR
8 months
Problems that arise if STNR is not integrated by 8 months
interferes with prone propping, reciprocal crawling, sitting balance, gait, hand eye coordination
STNR
UE flexed with head in flexion
UE extended with head in ext
LE always do opposite
STNR is a precursor to
crawling
many retained STNR babies skip crawling or W sit
Moro reflex stimulus
dropping head into extension
Moro reflex
upon dropping head into extension, hands abduct and extend followed by adduction and flexion across body
this is similar to startle but not quite the same
Normal integration moro reflex
3-5 months
Problems that arise if Moro reflex is not integrated by 3-5 months
decreased balance and protective reactions in sitting, hand eye coordination
Startle reflex stimulus
loud noise or bright light
integrated by 3-5 months
Normal integration startle reflex
3-5 months
Startle reflex
abduction and extension of UE in response to sound or light
Problems that arise if Startle reflex is not integrated by 3-5 months
oversensitivity to stimuli, easily distracted/scared in loud environments, sitting balance, social interaction
Galant reflex normal integration
2-3 months
Galant reflex stimulus
in prone, touch skin on spine from shoulder to hip
Galant reflex
ipsilateral lateral trunk extension to side of stimulus
If galant reflex is not integrated by 2-3 months….
could lead to problems with sitting balance, scoliosis, fidgeting/hypersensitivity w wearing clothes
Tonic labyrinthe reflex stimulus
position in supine - extremities in extension
position in prone - extremities flexed
Normal integration Tonic labyrinthe reflex
4-6 months
Problems if tonic labyrinthe reflex isnt integrated by 4-6 months
affects anti gravity control, head/body orientation
Palmar grasp reflex stimulus
pressure to ulnar side of hand produces grip
Palmar grasp reflex normal integration
4-7 months
Problems if palmar grasp reflex isnt integrated by 4-7 months
reduction in voluntary grasp and release
interferes with ability to weight bear on open hand
Positive support reflex normal integration
1-2 months
Positive support reflex
stimulus is weight placed on balls of feet - produces stiffenening of trunk and legs into extension
if positive support reflex is not integrated by 1-2 months…
interferes with standing and walking - rigid gait pattern
balance reactions/weight shifting in standing
can lead to PF contractures
Flexor withdrawl reflex normal integration
1-2 months
Flexor withdrawl reflex
stoke bottom of foot results in flexed LE (hip and knee flexion, DF)
Problems if flexor withdrawl reflex is not integrated by 1-2 months
hypersensitivity to stimuli on sole of foot - difficulty walking on gravel or uneven surfaces
Stepping reflex
lean forward while on balls of feet produces LE flexion
Physiological flexion is normal until
1-2 months
