Peds By Ptdi Flashcards
Goal of pediatric PT according to the IC model
Optimize participation
APGAR
A test to quickly evaluate and summarize a newborn’s health, physical condition, and the need for immediate medical care
Typical age of acquisition for kicking a ball
3 years
Appropriate age range to use BOT-2
Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency
4-21 years
Gestational age considered preterm
< 37 weeks
GMFCS level II (for children 6 - 12 years old)
Walks without devices; limitations in walking outdoors and in the community
•LEVEL I - Walks without limitations
• LEVEL II - Walks with limitations
• LEVEL III - Walks using a hand-held mobility device (crutches, cane, walker)
• LEVEL IV - Self-mobility with limitations; may use powered mobility
LEVEL V - transported in a manual wheelchair
Floppy infant syndrome
Global hypotonia and decreased antigravity strength!
Athetosis
Movement disorder characterized by slow, continuous, involuntary writhing movements
Pattern of distribution of muscle wasting and weakness in
Duschenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
Proximal to distal and lower limbs functionally worsen before upper limbs
Typical age of acquisition for sitting
6 months
The 5 factors used to evaluate a new born’s condition in the
APGAR scoring system
Activity (muscle tone), Pulse (heart rate), Grimace (reflex irritability), Appearance (skin color), Respiration (breathing rate and effort)
Gower’s maneuver
A maneuver used to get up to standing by using the hands and arms to progressively walk” up the shins, knees and thighs to assume a standing positions. Classically seen in children with DMD due to weakness in the pelvic girdle and quadriceps muscles.
Down Syndrome
Genetic disorder caused by faulty cell division resulting in an extra 21st chromosome
Typical age of acquisition for rolling
3-6 months
Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)
An observational instrument to measure change in gross motor function of children with CP
Purpose of the AIMS- Alberta infant motor scale
Screen infants for motor delays and identify those that require early intervention
The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a standardised observational examination tool used to assess the maturation of gross motor skills of infants from term (i.e. 40 weeks gestation) to 18 months post-term.
The AIMS was developed as a reference guide for the development of infants based on the age related norms of 2200 infants in Alberta, Canada
Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) stimulus and response
When the face is turned to one side (stimulus), the arm and leg on that side extend, and the arm and leg on the opposite side flex.
Causes of obesity in children with DMD
Dietary intake > energy expenditure (especially when wheelchair bound), Steroid therapy
Typical age of acquisition for standing
9 months
