Which is not one of the key early motor skills?
Rolling
Sitting
Creeping/Crawling
Standing/Walking
all options are key skills
Match the correct time frame with each motor skill:
Rolling: ❌ Sitting: ❌ Creeping & crawling rapidly: ❌ Standing/walking: ❌
During standing/walking development, when do the following occur: Pull to stand: ❌ Rising/lowering self: ❌ Cruising: ❌ Walking becomes primary mode: ❌
Which of the following characteristics define rolling? (check all that apply).
method for changing position before forward motion develops
leads to development of rotation between shoulder girdle and pelvis
Begins when there is adequate control of head and trunk muscles
Forward flexion of the infant's body
Which of the following is NOT a type of rolling?
log rolling
mature rolling
deliberate rolling
primitive rolling
❌: Non-segmental; body moves as one unit; turn your head and your whole body rolls ❌: neck rotation; rooting, ATNR,; lift and turn your head to clear face ❌: segmental; allows for increased reach; develops rotation, child can stop mid-roll because balance, rotation of shoulder with back hip forward improve righting reactions ❌: deliberate roll to prone or supine; led with arm and leg flexion
❌ = rotational righting
When sitting, an infant tries to right itself by using head lag and head alignment
Is pull to sit a forward flexion of the body?
yes
no
What helps builds the infant's core?
laying prone
laying supine
putting hands to feet/feet to mouth
sleeping/rest
Reach and play in sitting is during primary sitting.
What helps a baby sit independently?
motivation
laziness
wide BOS
narrow BOS
pelvis moving
pelvis not moving
not putting its hands down when losing balance
putting its hands down when losing balance
What sitting position is this baby in?
w or heel sitting
long sit
side sit
ring sitting
tailor sit/crisscross applesauce
What sitting position is this child in?
tailor/crisscross applesauce
w or heel
side
long
ring
Why do children "w" sit even though it can cause stability problems and orthopedic issues?
Children with low muscle tone, hyper-mobility in the joints, or decreased balance and trunk control are more likely to use w-sitting as their primary sitting posture.
Neither answer is correct
Provides the child with a stable trunk and hips, which allows the child more freedom to use their hands to play without challenging their balance
Both answers are correct
Which is not a characteristic of creeping?
improvement of quality of extension against gravity
exploring the environment
final stage of hands and knees forward progression
primary crawling
maintaining a vertical posture
❌- vertical righting reactions with lateral trunk flexion and unilateral weight shift with beginnings of contralateral weight shift
❌- vertical/rotational righting and equilibrium with contralateral weight shift
❌- vertical righting reactions and UE support reactions; bilateral weight shift from UE to LE or vice versa
❌-vertical/rotational righting and beginning equilibrium reactions with unilateral weight shift
