Typical Development of skeletal system and locomotion Flashcards
1
Q
Growth and development of the skeletal system and location is generally?
A
- each stage of growth and development is affected by the preceding types of development
- predictable sequence
- each child is an individual
2
Q
What are some prenatal factors that can impact growth
A
- nutritional deficiencies (protein and calcium are important)
- diabetic mother can impact the size and make them larger
- exposure to radiation
- smoking can produce smaller babies
- mal-positions in utero
- mom needs exercise to give baby proprioception and bones get stronger
3
Q
Baby position during pregnancy:
-1. breech
- 2. incomplete breech
- 3. frank breech
A
- complete breech is the babies head is not down and both legs are flexed
- one leg is extended
- both legs are extended
- if a baby stays in the position too long that can get hip dysplasia which can increase risk of hip dislocation
4
Q
What are some postnatal factors that impact growth
A
- socio-economic status of the family
- child’s nutrition: infant weight affect step cycle, postural, and can cause bone deformities
- Exposure to gross motor experiences can impact bone growth (they need to be stressed) and motor development
- medications can impact bone growth - sometimes can be supplemented to help
5
Q
Muscular system: development of fibers
A
- type 1 fiber is matured at 21 weeks gestation
- type 2 fibers matured at 31 weeks gestational
- need to be perfected through development and strengthen
6
Q
Growth of muscle
A
- prenatally results from an increase in number of fibers (hyperplasia)
- postnatally for increases in size of individual fibers (hypertrophy)
7
Q
What is muscle growth impacted by
A
- nutrition: lean beef, chicken, fish, pork, beans, nuts, low-fat dairy
- exercise: fun activities, cycling, running, swimming, sport
- Good sleeping Habits: repair muscle = 10 hours of sleep for children
- strength training: light resistance and controlled movements
8
Q
Early Skeletal system
A
- head and trunk large in proportion to extremities with COM at Xiploid process
- spine lacks secondary curves
- growing bone is less dense and more porous than adult, more sensitive to compressive and tensile forces
9
Q
LE alignment: newborns
A
- femoral angle of inclination is 175 valgus?
- acetabulum shallow and more vertical
- 5-10º of internal tibial torsion
- tibiofemoral angle 16ºvarus
- 22º calcaneal varus
10
Q
Hip
1. torsion
2. antetorsion
3. Version
A
- normal development of rotation on a long bone
- antetorsion: head and neck of femur is rotated forward ; forward twist of femoral shaft
- version: position of the head of the femur in the acetabulum (ante version is an anterior position)
11
Q
Skeletal development: Wollf’s Law
A
- after bone develops initially it can be changed by bone function adaptation
- Mechanical forces –> bone, osteocyte and osteoblast activity –> bone structure growth
12
Q
Bone development
A
- Bones should not be as heavy as possible but rather stable as necessary
- important to create conditions that stimulate bones to become more stable
13
Q
Overview of skeletal development and bone mineral density
A
- period of increase in bone mineral density: 1-4year old, puberty
- high impact sports (gymnastics, volleyball, karate) or odd-impact sports (soccer, basketball, racquet sports) are associated with higher bone mineral density
14
Q
11-12 months skeletal development
A
- lumbar lordosis develops
- weight bearing deepens acetabulum, muscular attachments pull and reshape bone
- Wolff’s law
- cole’s law
15
Q
Tibiofemoral angle
1. 0-18 months
2. 13-30 months
3. 3-4 years
4. 8-10 years
A
- physiological varus
- at 18 months the angle is neutral
- tibiofemroal angle shows valgus alignment
- more in alignment and loss of most of the valgus alignment
