L6 Adolescence Flashcards
Development of Advance Motor Skills
- basic motor skills present
- refine and advance based on culture, environment, opportunities
- variable proficiency
More mature movement patterns have
rotation and power generation
Development of Advance Motor Skills
eye-hand coordination
speed
strength
flexibility
coordination
School Age Child Fine Motor
adult timing and accuracy with reaching by age 9
refine writing and drawing throughout school years
Horizontal Jumping Pattern
Initial–less deep squat, feet don’t go together
mature–deep squat, reciprocal arms, longer distance, feet hit at the same time
Hopping Development
Initial = begins at age 4 to 5. very little height or distance. Decreased balance.
Mature = balance, farther distance and height
Signs of immature movement patterns
- inconsistency
- inability to stop when appropriate
- extraneous movements
- Mirroring or inability to transpose R/L visual cues
- Asymmetry
- Loss of dynamic balance
- Inability to maintain pattern
- Doesn’t use appropriate force
- Lack of motor planning
Development of Language
