Fundamental Locomotor Skills
Building blocks of more specific skills developed later in childhood
2 obstacles that are important in acquisition and achievement of fundamental movements
Balance and Strength
Achievement of upright stature allows for:
both hand manipulation and i
Walking: Phases
Swing Phase: foot leaves the supporting surface
Support Phase: feet on ground (balance)
Double Support Phase: Both feet are in contact with surface
Walking: Immature
wide base, high guard, toes out,
short inconsistent steps
Walking: Mature
DYNAMIC base (narrower)
ANGLE (foot angle)
SPEED (longer strides, coordination)
Walking: COG
High center of gravity with a small base of support makes balance challenging
Walking: Gender Differences
None
Running: Phases
Single Support Phase: foot is on the ground, striking leg
Flight: both legs in the air
Recovery: back leg is brought forward
Running: Requirements
Walking first, increase in strength and improved balance and motor coordination
Running: Immature
Wide Base, arms in High Guard, flat footed
Running: Mature
Arms in opposition, elbows at 90, task specificity in limbs
Running: Speed
Men faster, no difference early
Experience, strength, technique
Preparation and reaction time
Girls peak 14-15 Boys 17
Jumping: Phases
Preparatory: preparing movements for body to spring into action
Take-off: The Jump
Landing: Striking, bending knees/body to absorb shock
Jumping: Requirements
Increase leg strength
Hop
Females better balance 6months advanced
Acquires additional strength and balance
Component Approach
Goes through each body segment separately, more process oriented
Total Body Approach
Entire body, what it does, to produce the outcome
Combined Fundamental Movements, difficulty in order
Galloping
Slide
Skip
Object Control skills categories
Ballistic and Receptive
Ballistic
Applies force to an object
Receptive
Receiving Force
Two main factors determine changes in object control
Strength and Stability
Object Control: Gender Differences
Yes, balance-wise Females better.
Strength-wise males better
Ballistic Throwing forms
1/2 underhand
sidearm
1/2 overarm
1 handed over arm most researched
Throwing: Phases
Preparatory Phase:All movements away
Execution: all movement towards target
Follow-through: all movements that take place after object is released
Throwing: Product Measures
Accuracy
Distance - lifespan
Velocity
Factors that influence throwing
Instruction
Knowledge
Instructional Cues
Ball Size
Angle of Ball Release
Development level
Striking: Immature
Homolateral Step
Little Rotation
Rigid Movements
Face the object
Vertical Strike
Little Backswing
Striking: Mature
Ipsilateral step
Rotation of trunk
Full backswing
Horizontal Strike
Arms relaxed
Place Kicking: Mature
Running start
Last step is a leap step on plant foot
Vigorous follow through
Hop
Arms oppose legs
Place Kicking: Immature
pushes ball away with foot
no backswing or followthrougstiff legs
Punting: Mature
Follow-through
flexion of hip and knee
hop onto support leg
trunk leg comes across body
Punting: Immature
Lacks preparatory phase
leg remains straight
no follow-through
Gender Differences (HRPF vs. Object Control Skills)
Curl-ups men better
12min run/walk men better
sit and reach - women
79%
Body type/composition impact
Endomorphic - negative except for throwing
Meso/ecto -no impact
Object control skill preference and selection
Males performed better in jumping and throwing because of strength/ limb length
Females performed better in kicking due to balance and COG
Cerebral Palsy
Impairment of control over voluntary musculature
Impacts ability to maintain balance and posture
CP: Common motor disability
Spastic, Duskinetic, Ataxic, mixed
CP: Symptoms
Speech language
intellectual disability
sensory impairments
CP: Spasticity
Hemiplegia
Paraplegia
Diplegia
Quadriplegia
Intellectual Disabilities: Physical and motor characteristics
Low muscle tone, shorter stature, endomorphic body type, lower aerobic fitness, lower muscular strength and endurance
ID: Factors influencing PA in childhood
Family/school
Limited availability of specialized programs
Risk/safety concerns regarding PA participation
ID: Factors influencing PA behaviors during adulthood
Transportation
Facility and program policy
Lack of awareness (benefits)
Activity Preference
Autism: 3 main delays
communication, behavior and social interaction
Catching: First attempts
-Stop by sitting on the floor with legs spread
-Arms fully extended
Catching: Factors impact
Ball size
background color
ball velocity
trajectory angle
vision and viewing time
Catching: success
Knowledge and experience
catching on the run-less successful
catching with a glove more successful
Postural Sway
imperceptible (cant see it) back and forth motion designed to assist the body in maintaining upright position
(Cephalocaudal)
Falls
accidental deaths in elderly
reduced visual capability, increased meds, lower foot raise
women fall more, but not as damaging
Falls: predispositonal
balance problems
declining flexibility
disease
reduced joint mobility
Falls: situational causes
Alcohol
Improper clothing (footwear, clothing)
Darkness
Environmental obstacles
Medication
Strategies to avoid falls
remove/decrease environmental obstacles
maintain PA
Falls: Changes in walking pattern
decrease step length
Decrease velocity
increase double support phase
increase step width
Greater tendency to toe out
Falls: gait in older individuals
Wider base
slower
age-related decline
reverse proximodistal
flat footed
Factors influencing Adult Motor Performance
Increase or decrease activity level
Decrease in flexibility
Fear of losing abilities to perform ADL
ADL vs IADL
ADL - very minimal requirement (eating)
IADL - skill relating (Cooking)
Reaction Time
time from initiation of stimulus
Movement Time
period of time from beginning of the movement until its complete
-poorer with age (driving)
Spatial Transposition
Relating one signal at one position to a response at another position

ex. releasing a button when a light stimulus appears
Symbolic Trasposition
Requires the subject to respond to a signal by a predetermined number or code

ex. go on green
Last-in-first hypothesis
slowing with age for relatively simple versus more complex movements
Decrease at 30
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic
Saccadic Movements
micro-adjustments to the eyes make working together as they scan a line or page or seep across a horizontal or vertical landscape

doesnt slow with age
