are kids and adults really much different when treating in PT
not really
what is the eval process you follow with a child
exam, eval, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention and outcomes
what are the 7 principles of Pediatric PT
- development
- child, family and caregiver perspectives
- medical vs.develop/educational services
- strength based
- top down approach
- participation nd routines
- WHO-ICF
what is the neural maturationist theory of development
development driven by the pre-programmed brain
what is the cognitive theory of development
environment and experience drives development
what is the dynamical systems theory
mix of brain and the enviro.
development of motor patterns depends on a combo of mechanical, neurological, cognitive, perceptual and enviro things.
what does the DST say about neural maturation
that it is equal to other structures/processes that influence development
how are movements related and discussed within the DST
self-organizing, and emerge as a result of an interaction between subsystems, subsystems are constrained or supported by physical and environmental factors.
when is brain development very rapid
in the first year, this is the biggest window for development
what pathways develop in the first few months 1-4 or 5
the sensory pathway, like vision and hearing
when does the language path develop
6-9 months, they can recognize words and names
when does hight cognitive functions start to develop
peaks around 1 year.
how does the brain size change in the first 2-3 years
in the first year, doubles in size. Triples by age 3
how does muscle develop
most muscles are developed at birth, and during grown years, the muscle fibers increase in length and cross sectional area by the addition of sarcomeres.
how do bones develop
diaphyses are almost ossified at birth, and epiphyses are cartilaginous. Lon bones will grow at the epiphyseal plate, and become ossified when the bone growth is complete around age 20.
bones grow in ____ before ___
length, before strength
