pt in risky children Flashcards
pregnancies that increase the perinatal morbidities and mortalityis defined as what
risky pregnancies
who are risky newborns
babies who may show developmental delay as a result of adverse environmental and biological factors
what set of babies are refered to as risky babies
premature babies
low birth weight babies born at term
babies with congenital defects
babies that need neonatal intensive care
what is the normal weight of the baby at birth
2500-4000
what problems are premature and low weight babies more prone to
motor problems
in the first year of life what problems is common amount lowe weight birth babies
temporary dystonia
the most impaired condition associated with prematurity is
cerebral palsy
what deformity is seen in premature babies with periventricular hemorrhage
cerepral palsy
what other disroder is seen in premature babies
developmental coordintion disorder
aim for evaluating risky babies
to be able to differentiate the difference btw normal babies and babies with low motor issues
predict future motor pronlems
analyze the changes
main purpose of early rehabilitation
gain normal functional movements
give normal sensory input
gaining an independent cognitive and social aspect of life
pt programmes for the risky child includes
child specific positions
teaching holding technique
dynamic activities
the formation of dendrites,axons,neurotransmitters and synapses are active durin which periods
few months before and after birth
myelization begins when and ends when
second trimester and ends at age 30
one of the most used applications in risky infant pt is
positioning
uses of positioning
suport breathing
reduce postural deformities
provide stability
what physical therapy approach is the most used world wide and focuses on the normalization of motor development
neurodevelopmental therapy
aim of neurodevelopmental therapy
gain the highest possible level of functionality in children with neurodevelopmengal ddisotders
what are the type of key points
proximal and distal
when is distal keypoint used
if the child has some postural control proximally
things ro ensure while performing keypoint activities with the risky infants
proper body alignment
active repitition
spreading the therapy throughout the day
in what ways can you stimulate the babies
tactile stimulation
vestibular stimulation
vibration
proprioceptive stimulation
sound
why do we use constraint induced movement therapy and who do we use it on
to increase the use of the affected extrimity
on children who are prone to develop unilateral cp
what is the time duration for the constriant induced movement therapy
30 minutes a day
in 2 periods of six weeks
what therapuetic approaches uses passive and active techniques and adapts to sensory input
vojta method
what scale is used to evaluate the spontaneous motor development of babies
prechtls assessment of general or GMS movment
easy to use
used in 3 month olds
features of the alberta infant motor skills or AIMS
used to measure children from newborn to independent walking age
measures weigjt transfers posture and antigravity in prone supine etc
what is the standard motor development test used to assess infants aged 1month-6 years
neurosensory motor development evaluation or NSMDA
uses of nsmda
diagnose cp
predict motor development and cognitive performances
features of HINE
used to evaluate babies up to 24 months
used to determine the higher risks of neurological anomalies
includes evaluation of cranial nerves
posture and movement
what are the areas that the MAI tests evaluates
MUSCLE TONE
reflexes
automatic reactions
voluntary movements
what test evaluates fine and gross motor in children
peabodybdvelopmental motor scales or PDMS 2
