Pediatrics Flashcards
prematurity
birth of less than 37 weeks of gestation
suck-swallow reflex
S: stimulus to roof of mouth
R: suck
Integration: 2-5m
rooting reflex
S: brush to cheek
R: turns toward and opens mouth
Integration: 3m ~ A TREE HAS ROOTS
moro reflex
S: rapid neck EXT
R: UE EXT/ABD followed my FLEX/ADD
as if grasping for their parent
Integration: 4-6m
plantar grasp reflex
S: pressure to ball of foot/toes
R: foot DF, toes curl
Integration: 9m
positive support reflex
S: child supported with feet on flat surface
R: standing followed by sitting
Integration: 1-2m
galant reflex
S: stroke to paravertebral area
R: lateral flexion towards
Integration: 3-6m
ATNR
(assymetrical tonic neck reflex)
S: head turned to one side
R: EXT ipsilaterally, FLEX contralaterally
Integration: 4-6m
tonic labrynthine reflex
S: supine/prone
R:EXT/FLEX

-FLEX: arms FLEX, legs EXT
-EXT: arms EXT, legs FLEX
Integration: 8-12m
cephalocaudal developmental principle
development from head to toe
proximal to distal developmental principle
development of midline then extremities
general to specific developmental principle
development of whole body movements before disassociation of extremities
gross to fine developmental principle
development of large movement before small
physiologic flexion
position in which babies are born
antigravity extension
active extension occurs first before flexors
antigravity flexion
progressed as infant spends more time in supine
developmental dysplasia of the hip
poor alignment of the acetabulum and head of femur in the developing hip
torticollis
asymmetric head posture d/t SCM tightness
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
inflammation of connective tissue in children under 16 y/o
osteogenesis imperfecta
fragile bones d/t problems with collagen
metatarsus adductus
metatarsals deviated medially
talipes equinovarus
(clubfoot) ADD forefoot, varus hindfoot, equinus ankle
calcaneovalgas
food DF, valgus hindfoot, ABD of metatarsals
brachial plexus injury
damage to nerve roots C5-T1
avulsion
nerve is torn from the spinal cord
rupture
nerve is torn but not at spinal attachment
neuroma
nerve damaged and healed but prevents nerve conduction
neuropraxia
nerve is damaged d/t stretch but not torn
CP
(cerebral palsy) insult to the brain during development resulting in permanent, no progressive damage
-can present in many ways depending if it is UMN/LMN lesion
