Motor Development: Typically developing Vs Cerebral palsy

What are the components of development?

• Motor, sensory, social and adaptive

• Visual, auditory, speech and language

• Gross motor, fine motor, critical and sensitive period

• Milestones, neural correlates, motor development

Which motor skills are required for drawing, eating, writing, and other academic skills?

• Gross motor skills

• Fine motor skills

• Proximo-distal motor skills

• Dissociated motor skills

What is the critical period for skill acquisition?

(a)  

• 0-5 years
• 6-10 years

• 11-15 years

• 16-20 years

Which factors contribute to motor development?

• Synaptic connections, myelination, neurotransmitters

• Cell morphology, dendritic arborization, reflexive behavior

• Flexion and extension, cocontraction, force physiology

• Gross motor milestones, fine motor milestones, critical period

According to Dr. Jackson, what happens when an individual incurs damage to the cortical structures?

• Higher structures mature and control lower structures

• Lower structures take over the function of cortical structures

• Higher structures lose control over lower structures

• Lower structures dissolve and lose their function

What are the motor movement difficulties seen in children with Cerebral Palsy?

• Total arrest of movements, abnormal posture patterns

• Difficulty to initiate movement, involuntary movements

• Stereotyped movements, incoordinated movements

• All of the above

What is the difference between motor milestones in children with Cerebral Palsy and typically developing children?

• Delayed and deviant in Cerebral Palsy, normal in typically developing children

• Delayed and deviant in typically developing children, normal in Cerebral Palsy

• Delayed in Cerebral Palsy, normal in typically developing children

• Normal in Cerebral Palsy, delayed in typically developing children

Reorder the following

• Sitting with support

• Head/Neck Control

• Head lift/Chin up

• Turning over/roll over

What is the type of grasp represented in the picture?

• Palmer grasp

• pincer grasp

• inferior pincer grasp

• Raking

As per duplex symptomatology, positive symptoms following brain damage is

• Release of function of lower order structures

• Release of function of higher order structures

• loss of function of higher order nervous system

• All of the above
