πΆπ» Pediatrics: Development I and II (reflex integration, postural reactions) Flashcards
Pediatrics: development
Term babies are born between _______ weeks of gestation
38 and 42
Pediatrics: development
calculating the adjusted age of preterm infants
chronological age (in weeks) minus the number of premature weeks
- Chronological age (age from birth): 20 weeks
- The number of weeks your baby was premature: 6 weeks
- Subtract the number of weeks premature from the chronological age (this is your babyβs adjusted age): 20 weeks minus 6 weeks equal 14 weeks.
Pediatrics: development
period of fetal development begins at
9 - 38 weeks gestation

Pediatrics: development
this type of reaction functions to keep the head oriented to the body and to gravity and to keep the eyes level with the horizon
Righting Reactions
Pediatrics: development
this type of reaction adjust for changes in the body in space, to keep you balanced over a point
Equilibrium reactions
Pediatrics: development
this type of reactions helps to protect ourselves from harm and falls
protective reactions
Pediatrics: development
Prone on elbows helps develop shoulder girdle muscles, especially the _________. If lacking, the child will have βTV shoulders.β
serratus anterior
