& M P Haynes May: Be transient and disappear Preterm infants Medically fragile children Continue as Hypotonic CP Later be diagnosed as Athetoid, Ataxic, or Spastic CP McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 May: Be part of an obvious or later diagnosed genetic syndrome Down Syndrome Prader-Willi Joubert Syndrome Other syndromes Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) Fragile X syndrome Maternal drug abuse McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 May be: A muscle fiber type disorder Sensory integration disorder MR Autism McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Cognition Neuromuscular System Sensory System Musculoskeletal System Regulatory Gastrointestinal Cardiopulmonary Integumentary McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Variable: Child to child Etiology Cognition often underestimated Flat affect Appears “slow” or “lazy” Latency of response time McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Abnormally low muscle resting tone Abnormally low resistance to being lengthened Feels “soft” when handled Described as “floppy” McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Impaired Muscle Activation Insufficient Co-activation Impaired Muscle Synergies Inability to Initiate, Sustain, Terminate McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Holding joint positions in midrange is difficult Move quickly through transitions Tend to work at end ranges Decrease degrees of freedom distally Hyperextention of elbows and knees McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Difficulty initiating muscle contraction Threshold for fiber firing Insufficient number of fibers recruited Slow to respond Response is then short-lived “Good baby”…later “lazy” May have a flat affect In supine “look flat” McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Difficulty in sustained holding against gravity…especially postural muscles Look like gravity is pulling them down Have a “belly” when upright Often turns muscles off to quickly i.e. Collapse when standing McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Impaired Motor Execution Impaired Modulation and Scaling of Forces Impaired Timing and Sequencing Excessive overflow of IntraInterlimb contractions McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Phasic bursts of movement Little grading – moves quickly to end ranges Overshoots target or strikes target inappropriately McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Primary— Difficulty grading agonists and antagonists Timing and sequencing difficulties may be secondary to initiate, sustain, and strength issues McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Impaired Force Generation Strength: the ability to contract a muscle to a sufficient degree to impact the task Primary inability to reach threshold for muscle firing inability to recruit enough muscle fibers Secondary Little muscle holding: decreased strength/atrophy Changes in muscle fiber type 2°to phasic use McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Anticipatory Postural Control— Probably not a primary impairment Difficult with latency of initiation Often they may anticipate a movement and “lock out their joints” in anticipation Anticipation may be present…just not appropriate McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Poverty of Movement “Poverty”--they don’t move much Happy to stay in one place Movement repertoires are somewhat limited Secondary to strength, alignment, and stability available to them during development Movements in the frontal and, especially, the transverse planes are less frequently seen McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Fractionated or Dissociated Movements Often use pure reciprocal innervation rather than co-contraction Movements may be “too dissociated” Need to control degrees of freedom to support purposeful isolated control Often fix distally Splaying of fingers Plantar-flexion of ankles McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Vision Vestibular Somatosensory McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Primary Impairments Refractory errors Visual field loss Strabismus Cortical visual impairment not as common as in SQ Secondary Impairment Uses eyes for postural stabilization McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Difficulty using: proprioceptive information tactile information Primary impairment If inappropriate firing of receptors Secondary impairment If caused by lack of experience due to little movement, ability to read the input didn’t develop well McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 “ the ability of the nervous system to perceive, interpret, modulate, and organize sensory input for use in generating or adapting motor responses… (Miller & Lane 2000) Degree of difficulty varies widely by etiology of the hypotonia McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Bones: Changes are usually secondary to static positons Plagiocephaly Flattend ribcage Kyphosis Shoulder instability Hip instability McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Muscles: Atrophy Weakness Fiber type changes Muscle shortening Muscle overlengthening Connective tissue: McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Muscles: Atrophy Weakness Fiber type changes Muscle shortening Muscle overlengthening Primary or Secondary Impairments? McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Connective Tissue: Hyperextensible joints Ligamentous laxity Primary or Secondary Impairments?

McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Postures: Prefers arms abducted and legs abducted Body “melted” onto the floor Movement: Antigravity of extremities difficult Sometimes “walks” extremities with hand movements Can’t lift head against gravity “Flings” extremities McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Postures: Retains flexed spinal position with hyperextended head resting position Sometimes looks like their chest “folds” in front Uses UEs for support (hyperextended elbows) May use feet as hands Posteriorly tilted pelvis BOS is very wide, knees flexed or extended McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Movement: Keeps the COM in the middle of the BOS Will pivot rather than rotate spine Often transitions out of sitting in the sagittal plane with legs abducted McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Postures: Hyperextension at the neck and elbows UEs abducted Hips and knees flexed greater than 90° Hips abducted Movement: Moves extremities rapidly with longer periods of 4s support with extremities “locked” when possible Much rather scoot on bottom!!! McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Postures: Support with UEs Hips are abducted Hips rest on feet or floor Movement: Difficult position to maintain Will not transition to ½ kneel, pushes with legs at the same time to get to standing McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Postures: Still like hyperextended neck and kyphotic upper spine UEs used to increase stiffness of trunk Pelvis may be anteriorly or posteriorly tilted Wide BOS in LEs Knees hyperextended, out-toeing McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Movement: Legs may “fold” unexpectedly Difficulty shifting weight laterally to unweight one leg for gait Wide BOS and short steps make gait awkward and inefficient McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 McElroy, Haynes, & Franjoine 2009 Dimensions + Domains - Dimension Functional Domain Disability Domain A.
