slide 6 packet 1: principles of development
look at slide?
Flexors vs extensors: Tone, antigravity, weight bearing
Tone: flexor tone before extensor
Antigravity: Extensor antigravity control before flexor
Weight bearing: Weight bear on flexed extremities before extended
Spiral nature of development mean?
- you revert to more perfected skills under stress
skillful movements should become what?
automatic/subcortical
Pre-requisites for skillful movement
- automatic/subcortical
- need foundational skills before higher level skills
- appropriate postural set for anticipated moment is present
- static and dynamic posture
Static posture gives what?
stability
start with head control
Dynamic posture gives what?
mobility
start with rocking
What are the 3 phases of intrauterine development?
- germinal: conception to 2 weeks
- embryonic: 3-8 weeks post conception
- fetal: 8-38 weeks post conception
Why is pregnancy considered to be 40 weeks when fetal ends at 38 weeks post conception?
Because pregnancy is considered to start at the last menstrual period. 2 weeks before conception
Why should we study intrauterine development?
- this is where development begins. not at birth
- quality of postnatal life depends on pre and perinatal events
- postnatal mvmt is reflection of prenatal patterns
Hookerās study on intrauterine development
- need sensory input for motor output
- at 7.5 weeks gestation have first sensitivity to stim.
According to Hooker, by birth all cutaneous sensitivity is developed except for where? and why is this important
- except for top and back of head.
- protective for birth.
Okapiās studies on intrauterine development
challenged Hooker
- said motor responses occur in embryo as early as 4 weeks without afferent input
(study not sure if gestation or conception)
Meiosis
- cell reduction and division; one of each of 23 pairs of chromosomes in each sex cell from each parent unite
Zygote
fertilized egg
Mitosis
Repeated cell division of zygote (2 cells to 4 to 8 to blastocyst)
Blastocyst
Day 5 of gestation (approx. 60 cells)
- the stage of the embryo during implantation
- implantation occurs between day 5 and 10
cell differentiation
- cells continue to inc and differentiate into specialized cells
Embryonic landmarks - 5 weeks gestation (3 weeks post conception)
- neural tube is forming
- recognizable head
- tail folds
- optic vesicles
Embryonic landmarks - 6 weeks gestation (4 weeks post conception)
- neural tube closes
- heartbeat begins
- recognizable organs
Embryonic landmarks - 7 weeks gestation (5 weeks post conception)
- brain divides into 3 parts
- peripheral nerves appear
- arm and leg buds
Embryonic landmarks - 10 weeks gestation (8 weeks post conception)
- facial features (eyes, ears, nose, mouth)
- digits
- sensory organs developing
- begin bone ossification
full term pregnancy is how long and what are the trimesters
full term = 37-40 weeks
1st tri= week 1-14 (14)
2nd = week 15-27 (13)
3rd = week 28-38/40 (11-13)
post term = 40-42 weeks. what is the importance?
placenta deteriorates at 42 weeks
what is a pre-term baby?
- less than 37 weeks
- immature lung development cause anoxia and hypoxia that can damage brain first, eyes, gut, liver, kidneys and all other organsā¦.
How does the fetus get nourishment and expel waste?
- O2 and nutrients from umbilical cord and placenta
- CO2 and waste carried away by maternal blood
** quality of fetal nourishment is dependent on motherās behavior
Fetal landmarks at 12 weeks gestation
- sex recognizable
- large head, small body
- brain configuration near completion
- bone marrow producing blood
- startle, suck, swallow reflex
fetal landmarks at 16 weeks gestation
- motor behavior
- hair on head
- heart developed
- sensory organs formed
fetal landmarks at 20 weeks gestation
- legs longer
- myelination of spinal cord beginning
- auditory system response
at 24 weeks gestation
- ** limits of viability (ability to survive outside uterus)
- beginning movements similar to respiration
- layers in cerebral cortex
at 28 weeks gestation
- fat tissue increases
- retina light receptive
- forceful eye blinking with startle
at 32 weeks gestation
- weight increasing faster than length
- taste
