Paediatric Q's
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are some common questionaires and assessment tools that physio's can use? | 1. The Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC) 2. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3. Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ®-3) |
| What are the main aspects of family-centred practice? | 1. Family as the unit of attention 2. Family choice 3. Family strengths 4. Family-professional relationship 5. Individualised family services |
| What are the componenets of Physical literacy? | 1. Physical - skills and fitness 2. Psychological - attitudes and emotions towards mvt 3. Social - Interaction with others 4. Cognitive - Understadning of how, why and when they move |
| What are the three parts of evidence based practice? | 1. Child and family preferences, drawn from the experiences, values & circumstances of the child, as well as their family; 2. The best available research evidence; and 3. Clinical expertise (your knowledge, skills and past experience). |
| What is the The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and what ages does it apply to? | AIMS is a standardised assessment of motor development in infants. Especially for babies at risk of developmental delays. Used to check if a baby’s movement skills are developing normally Infants from birth to 18 months |
| What is the The Test of Gross Motor Development- Third Edition (TGMD-3) and what ages does it apply to? | TGMD-3 is a standardised test of gross motor skills in children It assesses how well kids perform fundamental movement skills needed for sport and play. Children aged 3 to 10 years |
| What is the The Kids Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Kids BESTest) and what ages does it apply to? | The Kids BESTest is a standardised test of balance in children It identifies why a child has balance problems — not just whether they do Children aged about 6–18 years. Used for kids with neurological, developmental, or balance difficulties. |
| What does MOVEMENTS stand for? | Motion, Orientation, Variety, Ease, Modulation, Effectiveness, Normality, Timing & Safety |
| What does ORDER stand for? | Organise and Observe, Request. Direct, Enhance and Replace |
| What is organisation of motor control? | An interaction between: - the individual - the task - the environment |
| What are some task factors? | Stability: required for sitting/standing with stationary base Mobility: required when moving the base of support e.g. crawling |
| What are some environment factors? | REgulatory features: uneven surfaces Non-regulatory features: may affect movement performance but the movement does not have to conform to them e.g. background noise |
| What are some Individual factors? | - perception/sensory input - cognition or processing - action or Motor output the control of action requires understadning of the motor output |
| What is sustaining a position? | The ability to SUSTAIN control of orientation and balance over a stationary base of support in order to hold a posture |
| What is maintaining a position? | The ability to MAINTAIN control of orientation and balance over a stationary base of support when performing a movement |
| What is retaining a position? | The ability to RETAIN control of orientation and balance over a stationary base of support when responding to a perturbation |
| What is projecting from a position? | The ability to sustain control of orientation and balance when changing the base of support in order to PROJECT the body up and down from a position |
| What is propelling from a position? | The ability to maintain control of orientation and balance when changing the base of support in order to PROPEL the body towards a new position |
| What is protecting from a position? | The ability to retain control of orientation and balance when changing the base of support to PROTECT the body in response to an external perturbation |
| what are neuromuscular synergies? | automatic balance strategies used by the nervous system to keep the body upright and prevent falling when balance is disturbed. e.g. Amkle, hip and step strategies. |
| what are adaptive mechanisms? | flexible balance responses that use sensory feedback to adjust the body and prevent falling when conditions change. > developmental adaptive mechanisms = baby head control by 2months |
| What are anticipatory mechanisms? | pre-planned postural adjustments made by the body before a movement to maintain balance. developmental > may be more affected by practice/learning e.g. sitting and reaching |
| What are sensory strategies? And what are some systems that assist with this? | Info in organised and interpreted from individual sensory systems which contributes to postural control e.g. tactile, vestibular 3-6m, proprioception, vision |
| what is internal representations? | Mental models of the body and environment used to guide posture and movement. |
| What are 3 other things that affect postural control? to do with biomechanics | Musc changes, strength, tone, jt mvt, growth growth, proportional body changes Body alignment, development of spinal curves |
| What does the Age Referenced Ax - NSMDA test for? Age? | standardised assessment tool designed to evaluate neurological, motor and sensory development in infants. neurological, motor, and developmental function, helps to identify delays, deviations, or abnormalities in these areas Birth to 6y |
| What ages do babies start head righting and body righting and horizontal suspension? | 3-6m |
| When do babies get their protective & parachute reactions? | 6m forward arms & downwards legs 8m sideways arms 10m backward arm |
| When do babies develop equilibrium responses? | from 10m. |
| What are some proprioceptive impairments that can be seen in chlildren? | - Clumsiness - poor postural control - Inconsistent force control - over reliance on vision |
| what are 3 types of proprioception stimulus | - stretch - approximation - Compression |
| What is Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD)? and what are the two key areas assessed? | a standardised assessment tool used to evaluate gross motor skills in children aged 3 to 10 years. locomotor skills & object control/ ball skills |
