What Month is it?
According to typical development, this is the age at which an infant can sit independently.
What is 6 months/Range 4-7 months?
This reflex is elicited via neck rotation right or left and the response is extension of the limbs on the face side and flexion of the limbs on the skull side.
What is Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR)?
This developmental skill typically comes first: crawling, rolling supine to prone, rolling prone to supine, or prone neck extension.
What is prone neck extension?
This postural righting reaction causes a child to align their eyes to the horizon and lift their head up when they are tilted off to one side or the other.
What is optical head righting?
How we balance and maintain our body upright against the force of gravity including any expected or unexpected changes in the task or environment.
What is postural control?
According to typical development, this is the age at which an infant can roll from supine to prone.
What is 6 months/range 5-7 months?
This reflex is elicited by placing an index finger onto the ulnar side of the infant's hand and apply pressure.
What is the palmar grasp reflex?
According to developmental direction principles in early development, infant development typically progresses from ___________ to distal.
What is proximal?
This righting reaction causes the head/eyes to align with the horizon in the absence of vision.
What is Labyrinthine Righting?
Postural control mechanism that includes standing with typical sway side to side and/or forward and back.
What is static postural control?
According to typical development, this is the age at which an infant can stand independently.
What is 11 months/Range 10-11 months?
This reflex is elicited by holding the child under the axillae and inclining them forward. The response is for the child to automatically step.
What is the spontaneous stepping reflex?
According to typical development, this developmental direction principle demonstrates that an infant typically will extend their head in prone before they can lift their trunk off the group for quadruped.
What is cephalocaudal progression?
This postural reaction causes a child to catch themselves with outstretched arms/hands if they fall forward and down off a chair in order to protect their head.
What is downward or parachute protective reaction?
The type of postural control that is explained when an individual sees that they are walking up to a moving walkway at the airport and they plan to adjust their muscle activity in preparation for stepping onto the moving walkway.
What is anticipatory control?
According to typical development, this is the age at which an infant can pull to stand.
What is 9-10 months?
This reaction causes extension and hand opening of both upper extremities in response to a forward fall in sitting. To prevent a fall.
What is Protective Reaction UE - Forward?
In a "new walker" what position are the child's UE's usually in when walking?
What is high guard?
This postural reaction causes an individual who is standing and loses their balance to the left side to abduct their right LE and right laterally flexes their neck and trunk to maintain balance.
What is equilibrium reaction?
A type of feedback control that occurs when a perturbation and displacement is too large for the ankle and hip strategy to be successful and in order to prevent a fall in standing.
What is stepping strategy/reaction?
According to typical development, this is the age at which an infant can cruise independently.
What is 8-10 months?
This reflex is elicited by holding the child under both axillae in standing positiong and giving pressure to the call of the feet. The response is LE extension and plantarflexion.
What is Positive Support reflex?
This developmental direction principle demonstrates a child picking up a small toy with a full hand grasp before a pincher grasp with index finger and thumb.
What is gross then fine motor control?
This righting reaction uses tactile and neck proprioceptive information to orient the head to vertical in the absence of vision in prone positions.
What is body-on-head righting?
The type of postural control strategy where individuals are constantly modifying their postural strategies when tasks and/or environments change and this is from learned experiences and can also be in response to sudden unexpected movements.
What is adaptive control?
