Q 
Downward Parachute (1-3) 
(Protective extension downward)
A
  1. 4 months - persists
  2. Rapidly lower infant toward supporting surface while suspended vertically -> extension of the lower extremities.
  3. Allows accurate placement of LE’s in anticipation of a surface.
17
Q 
Forward Parachute (1-3) 
(Protective extension forward)
A
  1. 6-9 months - Persists
  2. Suddenly tip infant forward toward supporting surface while vertically suspended -> Sudden extension of the UE, hand opening, and neck extension.
  3. Allows accurate placement of UE in anticipation of supporting surface to prevent a fall.
18
Q 
Sideward Parachute (1-3) 
(Protective extension sideward)
A
  1. 7 months - Persists
  2. Quickly but firmly tip infant off balance to the side while in the sitting position -> arm extenstion and ABD to the side.
  3. Protects body to prevent a fall; supports body for uni-lateral use of the other arm.
19
Q 
Backward Parachute (1-3)
(protective extension backward)
A
  1. 9-10 months - Persists
  2. Quickly but firmly tip infant off-balance backward -> Backward arm extension or arm extension to one side.

20
Q

Prone Tilting (1-3)

A
  1. 5 months - Persists
  2. After positioning infant in prone, slowly raise one side of the tilting surface -> curving of the spine toward the raised side; ABD and extension of arms and legs.
  3. Maintain equilibrium without arm support; facilitate postural adjustments in all positions.
21
Q

Supine tilting and sitting tilting (1-3)

A
  1. 7-8 months - persists
  2. After positioning infant in supine or sitting, slowly raise one side of the supporting surface -> curving of the spine toward the raised side; ABD and extension of arms and legs.
  3. Maintain equilibrium without arm support; facilitates postural adjustments in all positions.
22
Q

Quadruped Tilting (1-3)

A
  1. 9-12 months - Persists
  2. After positioning the infant on all fours slowly raise one side of the supporting surface -> curving of the spine toward the raised side; ABD and extension of arms and legs.
  3. Maintain equilibrium w/o arm support; facilitates postural adjustments in all positions.
23
Q

Standing Tilting (1-3)

A
  1. 12-21 months - Persists
  2. After positioning infant in standing, slowly raise one side of the supporting surface -> Curving of the spine toward the raised side; ABD and extension of arms and legs.
  3. Maintain equilibrium w/o arm support; facilitates postural adjustments in all positions.
