answer

You move them to experience the necessary positions

question

T/F - Moving a child, assistive devices for sitting upright, and a HEP done by parents will all be part of positioning and handling

answer

True

question

T/F - Moving a child, assistive devices for sitting upright, and a HEP done by parents will all be part of positioning and handling

answer

True

question

What are three topics to teach parents positioning

answer

bathtime, diaper change
pictures of positioning
using assistive device/placement

question

We position in alignment to avoid ________.

answer

Deformities

question

Positioning and posture will help with _________, ________, ________

answer

maintain posture
weight shifting
change positions during the day

question

Lift by _____ hips and holding child close to body. Do not lift under the

answer

flexing, underarm

question

Extremity or trunk prep with approximation may be needed before

answer

weight bearing

question

A graded compression to the head down through the spine requires ______ _______ for approximation

answer

good alignment

question

Before movement begins the therapist may need to

answer

increase tone, correct alignment, control proximal joints

question

If you want a child to control a joint in weight bearing you should stabilize the ______ joint. ( you hold knee, while baby controls hip)

answer

distal

question

key points of control for movement preparation are the ______ joints.

answer

proximal

question

Which maneuver is great for head control.

answer

Pull to sit - use wedge, supine -rotate child toward you and pull slowly on arms

question

T/F - Head control should be encouraged in supine but not prone.

answer

False - both need to be practiced

question

resting tone needed for movement preparation

answer

postural readiness

question

Rhythmic rotation is used for a _______ child but not hypotonic.

answer

hypertonic

question

When a child substitutes while doing pull to sit what should you do?

answer

Do not allow it. Manually prevent it.

question

Using a suspension sling to put a child in for prone head control can be exciting. What should you avoid?

answer

Overstimulating the vestibular system, use varying movement and rhythm

question

What position would you choose to control the head and trunk in sitting and start learning how to weight shift onto their weak side.

answer

Side sitting, the child is propped up on one arm. This allows approximation and learning to shift weight to the effected side. Or supported sitting upright, or sitting on a ball.

question

Advantages of supine position

answer

upper trunk flexion in supine can decrease STLR , can begin early weight bearing on LEs

question

The neutral position of the head in side lying is great for ____

answer

dampening tonic reflexes

question

This position allows protraction of the shoulder and pelvis, functional rolling, dissociation of upper and lower trunk and trunk elongation.

answer

side-lying

question

This position promotes weight bearing through the UEs. Stretches hip and knee flexors. Facilitate hand eye relationships ( on elbows).

answer

prone

question

This position promotes head and trunk control, free arms for play, vestibular development, feeding, righting reactions.

answer

sitting

question

Which position is best for decreasing excessive plantarflexion

answer

standing

question

Name five different sitting positions

answer

Propped forward on both arms
Propped Forward on one arm
Propped laterally on both arms
No hand support
Side sitting with or without hand support

question

T/F You should facilitate supine to sit but not prone to sit.

answer

False - there are many transitional positions. Encourage all of them.

question

Allows weight bearing on back of thighs and ischial tuberosities.

answer

90-90-90 rule

question

Keep the depth of a seat no more than ______ of the length of the thigh

answer

7/8ths

question

the position for UE function

answer

sitting

question

sitting position good for weight shift

answer

side sitting

question

T/F sitting propped laterally on both arms is easier than side sitting with hand support.

answer

True

question

T/F side sitting without hand support is easier than upright sitting with no hand support.

answer

False

question

_________ are used to encourage trunk rotation and trunk control.

answer

transitions

question

Goals for adaptive equipment include all of the following except:
a) Reinforce typical movement
b) postural alignment
c) prevent hypermobility
d) increase comfort
e) increase opportunity for social and educational interactions

answer

C
