20
Q

Delayed ____ ______ is a common symptom of CP

A

Motor Development

21
Q

Muscles/nerves are intact rather, the portion of the _____ that controls the muscle function and tone is damaged

A

brain

22
Q

______ is the degree of resistance when a muscle is

stretched

A

Tone

23
Q

________ high tone, increased resistance is present when stretch (stretch reflex), and may have limited ROM due to tone, also called spasticity

A

Hypertonicity

24
Q

______ low tone, no resistance to stretch (areflexia) and hypermobility is present

A

Hypotonicity

25
Q

______ ______ changes between increased tone and decreased tone

A

Fluctuating Tone

26
Q

When hypertonicity is present and the child is lying on
his back you will often observe the hips ______
rotated and adducted and the ankles ______

A

internally

plantarflexed

27
Q

When hypotonicity is present and the child is lying on
his back the hips _____ flex and _____ rotate due
to low tone and gravity – (flop outward)

A

abduct

externally

28
Q

Motor milestone that is delayed =

A

inability to sit independently

29
Q

May have difficulty sucking, _____ and chewing

A

swallowing

30
Q

May only use 1 _____, may demonstrate unusual

_____ or gait pattern, and/or uncoordinated reaching

A

hand

crawling

31
Q
