Yr 1 Development Flashcards
Motor development 2-3 months
asymmetry, physiological flexion, fidgety movements
Motor development 4-6 months
weight on hands in prone, rolling, head control, increasing symmetr, increasing movement against gravity, beginning rotation
Motor development 7-9 months
sitting with no hands, sitting up from prone, creeping on hands and knees, rarely stays in prone/supine, transitions between positions, developing trunk stability
Motor development 8-10 months
Pulling to stand, upright, increased UE & LE control
Motor development 10-12
cruising along furniture, first steps (10-17 months)
Order of development of standing balance responses
- ankle strategy (10 months)

4 months
How are infant’s thoracic cavity different from adults?
triangular in frontal plane and circular in AP, ribs are horizontal, narrow intercostal space, inadequate accessory muscles, less domed diaphragm
Why is heart rate is faster in infants?
Smaller heart proportionally to body size = compensate for lack of volume pumped (smaller stroke volume)
