Worksheet time: 12mins
A twelve month old child with cerebral palsy demonstrates an abnormal persistence of the positive support reflex. During therapy this would most likely interfere with:
sitting activities
standing activities
prone-on-elbows activities
supine activities
A PTA completes a developmental assessment on an infant. At what age should an infant begin to sit with hand support for an extended period of time?
6-7 months
8-9 months
10-11 months
12-15 months
A PTA works with a five-year old boy diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The medical chart indicates that the boy was diagnosed with the disease less than one year ago. Assuming normal progression, which of the following findings would be the FIRST to occur?
distal muscle weakness
proximal muscle weakness
impaired respiratory function
inability to perform ADLs
A PTA completes a developmental assessment on a five-month old infant. If the PTA elects to assess the infant's palmar grasp reflex, which of the following stimuli is the MOST appropriate?
contact to the ball of the foot in upright standing
maintained pressure to the palm of the hand
noxious stimulus to the palm of the hand
sudden change in the position of the head
An eleven-month-old child with cerebral palsy attempts to maintain a quadruped position. Which reflex would interfere with this activity if it was not integrated?
Galant Reflex
Landau Reflex
Plantar Grasp Reflex
Positive Support Reflex
A PTA completes a developmental assessment on a seven-month-old infant. Assuming normal development, which of the following reflexes would NOT be integrated?
ATNR
Moro Reflex
Palmar Grasp Reflex
STNR
A PTA treats a one-month-old infant. During the treatment session the PTA strokes the cheek of the infant causing the infant to turn its mouth towards the stimulus. The action is utilized to assess the:
Moro Reflex
Rooting Reflex
Startle Reflex
Righting Reflex
A PTA identifies that an infant is unable to roll from prone to supine. Which reflex could interfere with the infant's ability to roll?
ATNR
Moro Reflex
Positive Support Reflex
STNR
A PTA employed in a school setting observes a ten-year-old boy attempt to move from the floor to a standing position. During the activity, the boy has to push on his legs with his hands in order to attain an upright position. This type of finding is MOST commonly associated with:
Cystic Fibrosis
Down Syndrome
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Cerebral Palsy
A PTA observes a change in the muscle tone of an infant's extremities as a result of head rotation. Which developmental reflex would facilitate this type of response?
ATNR
STNR
Landau
Galant
A PTA has an 8-month old sitting on a therapy ball and is moving the ball from side to side. Which postural reaction is being trained with this activity?
righting reactions
equilibrium reactions
protective reactions
galant reactions
