25
When does the ability to hold the head in midline develop?

26
The ability to lift the head in supine develops around what month?
5th
27
What can be defined as the first attempts to stabilize the body, relative to gravity, in all postures?
fixing/setting
28
During what month does the child begin to actively lift his LEs from the surface in supine?
5th month
29
Babies first reach to the ___lateral LE with the UE followed by reaching to the ___lateral LE. This is important for the development of what?
ipsilateral contralateral body schema
30
When a child begins to put their feet in their mouth this indicates integration of what reflex?
Sucking and rooting reflex
31
Describe the 2-stage rolling progression a baby goes through
From birth to 6 months the child performs nonsegmental rolling. Segmental rolling develops at 6 months
32
Describe nonsegmental rolling
Allows the child to roll from supine to side-lying Also referred to as log rolling
33
What reflex is nonsegmental rolling based on? Explain...
The neck-righting reaction. As the child's head is turned to one side, proprioceptors in the neck are stimulated causing the body to follow in one complete unit within the vertebral column
34
The neck-righting reaction gradually diminishes and gives way to what reaction?
body-righting reaction on the body, which leads to SEGMENTAL rolling
35
Describe the body-righting reaction
When the head is rotated to one side, the body reacts by following in the direction of the head turn, thus rolling toward that side. The different segments of the body are seen to respond sequentially, rather than move as one unit
36
Segmental rolling requires rotation within the body axis, the vertebral column which is referred to as what?
intra-axial rolling
37
When does the child learn to roll segmentally from prone to supine?
usually by 5 months
38
When does the child learn to roll segmentally from supine to prone?
usually by 6 months
39
Describe supported sitting
The infant's trunk exhibits a "complete C-curve" due to the lack of antigravity extensor muscle control.
40
In supported sitting the pelvis is ______ to the supporting surface. On the other hand it is considered a red flag if the infant is sitting on what?
perpendicular Sacrum, with the pelvis extremely posteriorly tilted.
41
At approximately _ months of age, the child begins to exhibit his first abilities for sitting without the external support of either being held or sitting with a back rest
5
42
What reflex is typically integrated around 4 months that allows for scapular stability and for the child to use his hands to support himself on the surface?
hand grasp reflex
43
What sitting posture develops after propped sitting that allows the child to begin reaching with his UE?
ring sitting
44
When does ring sitting develop?
6 months
45
How does the child typically hold his UE when ring sitting?
in high guard which uses the rhomboids to enhance trunk stability
46
What sitting posture indicates the ability to dissociate LE movements?
half-ring sitting
47
What 2 sitting progressions occur after half-ring sitting?
- long sitting | - side sitting
48
By _ months of age, the child is able to sit independently
8
49
While in supported standing, tilting the child forward slightly ill produce reflex stepping, by the end of _ months of age most infants lose this reflex. Due to what?
2 Because the mass of the infant's LE become too heavy to lift
50
What can be defined as the absence of automatic stepping?
abasia
51
What can be defined as lack of weight bearing through the lower extremities and typically occurs during the _ and _ months
astasia 3rd and 4th
52
At _ months of age the child volitionally bears full weight on his LEs and can stand supported
7
53
When does the child begin to pull himself to standing in his crib?
7-8 months
54
The child is able to stand independently at __ months through the knee-standing and half-kneeling postures
10
55
What is the difference between pull to stand and independent standing?
The child has developed the ability to lower himself eccentrically
56
Cruising usually develops around the same time as independent standing. Describe it...
Stepping sideways while holding onto furniture. Often attain the abilities to squat to pick up toys
57
First independent forward walking generally occurs between __-__ months, with the typical child walking at _ months
10-15 12
58
What reflex must disappear in order for independent locomotion can occur?
Plantar grasp reflex
59
What does not allow for the longitudinal arches to be visible? When does this disappear?
the plantar fat pad 2 years of age
60
When does running usually develop?
3-4 years
61
What are the 4 subgroups of balance skills?
- righting/Labyrinthine reactions - tilting reactions - equilibrium reactions - protective reactions
62
Describe righting/Labyrinthine reactions
There is slight perturbation well within the BOS and the head attempts to achieve horizontal mouth position
63
Describe tilting reactions
The surface on which the child is seated, standing, or otherwise positioned is moved, thus causing the child's COM to shift
64
Describe equilibrium reactions
The child is on a stationary surface and the force of the perturbation is directed at the child's body causing a shift in the COM
65
When is the protective response responsible for regaining balance?
When the COM has been pushed beyond the borders of the BOS. The child puts out his hand or foot to catch himself
66
Visually directed reaching occurs between _-_ months
3-5
67
The child begins to play with their feet around _ months of age
5
68
The ulnar fingers predominate grasp between _-_ months
5-7
69
Forefinger dominates grasp at __ months
11
70
The child is able to grade pressure of his grasp at __ months
12 months
71
A child is able to scribble on paper at __ months
15
72
A child is able to turn the pages of a book around __ months
