| Positioning principles (pg 328& 325) |
|
Definition
normalize tone, weight bearing NDT
provide support-but not more support than is needed for stability
position for symmetry and skeletal alignment
offer variety
consider safety and comfort
select developmentally appropriate positions
determine whether handling interventions are needed to achieve proper positioning |

Definition
corner seat-protraction of shoulders
Prone stander-weight bearing, view world from different view, hands together
Feeder seat proper position to eat properly
Sidelyer-side lying good position for hand play while providing support and controlling tone

Positioning principles (pg 328& 325) |
|
Definition
Maintain position throughout handling to keep tone from returning. (ex lift a child from a wheelchair in the position of flexed hips.
Anterior pelvic tilt,
Hips abducted like criss cross apple sauce
Hips flexed like sitting with feet on a stool |

Approaches
Positioning principles (pg 328& 325) |
|
Definition
Positioning is a static process that improves a child’s ability to maintain postural control while participating in activities
Handling is dynamic technique that guides a child’s movement by influencing the state of muscle tone or triggering new automatic movement responses that result in functional action. |

NDT- Neurodevelopment |
|
Definition
| children learn motor patterns when they feel normal handling Bobath relearning normal movement and avoiding abnormal movement patterns. Normal Tone, weight bearing. Proximal to distal, Pelvis first (anterior pelvic tilt) and protraction of scapula, square base support, symmetrically sides normal movement. Normalize muscle tone, inhibit primitive reflexes facilitate normal postural reaction. |

Sensory integration |
|
Definition
ability to detect and regulate incoming sensations. Ability to adjust response to changes in input. EX Thermometer
Self-regulation-ability to adjust one’s own sensory experiences to create an acceptable sensory environment

Definition
| a pleasurable, self-initiated activity that the child can control. Sometimes the definition includes an element of intrinsic rewards (the reward is in the activity itself) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
one’ disposition for play. It requires intrinsic motivation, internal control, and freedom to suspend reality.
Intrinsic motivation-self initiation or drive to action for which the reward is the activity itself rather than some externals rewards
Intrinsic control-the extent to which the child id in control of the actions, and to some degree, the outcome of an activity
Freedom to suspend reality- the ability to participate in make-believe activities, or pretend play |

Play and playfullness |
|
Definition
Play is vital to a child’s development and an important outcome of intervention. Play is a tool to increase skill development. OT is designed around play activities that will increase skills such as strength, motor planning, problem solving, grasping, and handwriting, which are necessary for the child to function. Making therapy fun through play.
