Q

Where does the growth of long bones occur and when do they become ossified?

A

Long bones grow at the epiphyseal plate and become

Q

What are the steps highlighted in the the Physical Therapy Clinical Reasoning and Reflection Tool (PT-CRT)?

A
  1. Getting the information to figure out the primary deficits and goals
  2. Generating hypotheses to figure out why the child isn’t achieving the goals
  3. Selecting test and measures to test the hypothesis to figure out what is needed to achieve the goals
  4. Use the ICF framework to evaluate the exam findings
  5. Determine POC
  6. Interventions
  7. Re-assessment
  8. Outcomes: discharge

What are the characteristics of a norm-referenced test?
``` • Determine eligibility • Standardized on groups of "normal" children • Compares child to others • Provide a "snapshot of a specific time." Shouldn't be used to track change over time or for program planning. ```
26
What are the characteristics of a criterion-referenced test?
``` • Measure progress • Evaluates individual performance in relation to a fixed standard • Compares child to himself • May be used for program planning or to track change over time ```
