Summary
In this webinar, Ms. Cusick details the key biomechanical and sensorimotor aspects of early acquisition of postural control – the essential foundation for developing competent limb use and motor skills.
In this course, Ms. Cusick discusses key elements from the clinical literature, and identifies typical and essential changes in postural control in the supine and prone position. In this course, you will also see three case study videos of clients before and after therapeutic interventions that address their postural control deficits. After a summary of the course and the principles to remember, Ms. Beverly Cusick presents a question-and-answer session based on questions already asked by students at previous conferences. A final quiz will be offered to test your learning. In conclusion, Ms. Cusick cites the leading clinicians who have significantly influenced her work and details their contributions to the scientific foundations of the Golden Rule.
Objectives
- Define postural control
- Know how to identify the significant signs of the “search for verticality” in daily life
- Describe the influence of will to verticality on stability in early development in the ventral position.
- Define Bly’s stability point and mobility point
- Identify the three sensory systems involved in postural control and the acquisition of motor skills.
- Know the correct sequence of planes in which postural control develops prior to walking, according to Bly.
- To know the first and second components of counter-gravity movement that occur during normal child development.
- Be familiar with the proposed clinical “golden rule” for pediatric orthopedic and neuromotor management.
- To be able to suggest interventions that implement the golden rule for newborns with deficits in postural control following preterm birth.
