neuromaturational theory
development tightly tied to CNS development, motor development is cephalocaudal and proximal to distal
dynamic systems theory
individual, task, and environmental constraints, motor behavior is made up of periods of stability and instability
most common childhood motor disability
CP
what does W-sitting mean?
not necessarily abnormal
can also be seen with hypo (wides BOS) or hypertonia (limited ROM)
capacity
the best the child can do in a standardized setting
performance
what the child can typically do
AIMS subscales
prone, supine, sitting, standing
scoring AIMS
determine window (least-most mature observed items) and score each as observed or not observed, 1 pt. each
5 domains of development
- physical motor
- social/emotional
- communication/language
- cognitive
- adaptive
joint attention
looking where someone is pointing, more likely after there is locomotor ability
encephalocele
NT defect, in occipital region, brain damage is typically focal
anencephaly
absence of most of the brain, die within a few hours
hydranencephaly
absence of cerebral cortex, can live a few years
x-linked disorders
muscular dystrophy
fragile x
rett syndrome
hemophilia

time elapsed since birth
corrected age
chronological age - # of weeks born before 40 weeks gestation
used up to age 3
