Q

APGAR scores

A

activity, pulse, grimace, appearance and respirations

  • performed 1 min and 5 min after birth
  • score each item from 0-2

Highest possible score = 10
8-10 at 1 min = normal
0-3 at 1 min and 5 min = risk of neonatal death

Q

Muscle tone in preemies

A

usually hypotonic

no opportunity to develop physiological flexion, inability to overcome the effects of gravity

important to include/promote normal newborn flexion in interventions b/c vital to development of body movement

Q

Norm Referenced Standardized Assessments

  • what are they
  • kind of measure?
  • what is it used for
A

child’s performance is compared to that of the skill level of a group of “normal” children of their age-matched group

Discriminative measure - used to determine if the child displays deviations from the norm; can ID those w/ delays

Used to determine eligibility for programs (EI or SBT)

Q

Criterion referenced Standardized Assessments

  • what are they
  • kind of measure
  • what is it used for
A

consists of a series of skills measured against a set of criteria for performance, the child is always compared to HIMSELF

Evaluative & progress measure - used to determine child’s performance against previous performance of same measure

used to evaluate effectiveness of interventions, program planning and change over time

Q

GMFM

A

gross motor function measure

purpose - assess quality of mvmt and chagne in GM function in children w/ CP

age - 5 months to 16 years

Criterion

19
Q

PEDI

A

pediatric evaluation of disability inventory

purpose - parent interview to determine self-care, mobility, social function and need for modification and assistance

age - 6 mo to 7.5 years

Norm

20
Q

BOT-2

A

bruininks-oseretsky test of motor proficiency

purpose - assess fine and gross motor skills; higher level motor skills, evaluate motor training programs

age - 4-21 years

Norm

21
Q

SFA

A

school function assessment

purpose - assess activity and function in school setting

age - children w/ disabilities in grades K-6

Criterion

22
Q

GMFMCS

  • what is it
  • highest level vs. lowest
A

gross motor functional classification system

  • classify gross motor function in children w/ CP; ages 1-18
  • must know to perform GMFM
  • must adjust age for prematurity if less than 24 mo old

HIGHEST level of function = I
LOWEST level of function = V

Score of I-V based on functional limitations, use of AD’s and quality of movement
