Why study lifespan development

Need to know what is normal to determine what is abnormal.

Lifespan development

Is the pattern of movement or change that begins at conception and continues through the life cycle until death.

Most development involves

Growth and decay (death and dying).

Processes of development pattern

Biological, cognitive, & social.

Biological processes

Involves changes in physical status.

Cognitive processes

Involves changes in a person's thought, processing, intelligence, and language.

Social processes

Involves changes in interpersonal relationships, emotions, and personality.

Loss of functional ability

Does not always result in disability

Disability

Something that hinders or incapacitates.

Functional Independence

Is a lifelong goal of people.

Function

Those activities identified by an individual as essential to support physical, social, & psychological well-being and to create a personal sense of meaningful living.

Primary goal of healthcare

To restore and improve function.

Physical manifestations

Those aspects of body function that can be measured or observed, such as muscle strength, body temperature, blood pressure etc.

Client symptoms

Reflect the clients impression of his health. Such as pain, weakness, ill feeling.

Functional status

Reflects how well the client is able to perform day to day activities.

Basic activities of daily living (BADL)

Personal care activities such as ambulating, feeding, bathing, dressing, grooming

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL)

Activities relating to how well we manage within our home or community. Such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, transportation.

Quality of life

Defined as a life that promotes fulfillment of both base and complex needs. Leading to life satisfaction.

Nagi disablement model

Related disablement to quality of life. Quality of life is impacted at the level of functional limitation or handicap. Therapeutic outcomes focus of functional limitations and disability rather than disease and impairments.

Nagi categories

Disease, impairment, functional limitations, disability, handicap.

Disease

Pathologic state manifested by the presence of signs and symptoms that disrupt body homeostasis or internal balance. Diagnosis.

Impairment

Change in anatomic, physiologic, or psychological structures or functions. Such as, decreased strength, loss of range of motion, or spasticity.

Functional limitations

Occur as a result of an impairment and become evident when the individual is unable to perform activities that are part of daily routine. Such as inability to ascend stairs.

Disability

Results when functional limitation becomes so great that the person is unable to meet social or environmental expectations. May be due to social barriers. Such as inability to drive car.

Goal of physical therapy using Nagi model

Increased independence in home and community and improvement in patient's quality of life.

ICF (WHO) model

Takes into account environmental and personal factors. Less focused on the cause of the condition. More emphasis on the impact of limitations and participation restrictions.

ICF categories

Health condition, impairment, activity limitation, participation restriction.

Growth

Increase in dimension and proportion

Maturation

Physical changes of the body due to pre-programmed internal body processes.

Adaption

The body's response to environmental stimuli.

Motor development

The acquisition of motor behavior that is heavily maturational in origin. Based on genetics.

Motor learning

The acquisition of motor behavior that is more environmentally dependent. Based on learning.

Milestones

Development processes such as rolling or walking.

Motor skills

Learning processes such as jumping rope or bike riding.

Cephalic to caudal

Top to bottom muscle development. First head and neck control, then trunk control.

Proximal to distal

Infant first controls the midline of the neck, then the trunk, followed by the shoulders and pelvis, then arms, legs, hands, and feet.

Gross to fine

Child acquires large muscle movement before small muscle skills.

Mass to specific

Acquires simple movements before progressing towards complex movements.

Influences on human development

Genetics, culture, maturation, and environment.

Culture influences

Culture impacts motor performance, identifies value s and determines task demands and roles. Cultural expectations affect parenting and attaining adult status.

Poverty

State of not having sufficient basic resources.

Poverty causes delays in

Motor, language, social, and academic.

Piaget's theory

Focuses on stages if cognitive development. Intelligence. Only covers birth through adolescence.

Piaget's sensorimotor stage

Birth to 2 years. Infant develops schemas: associates experiences with physical actions.

Piaget's preoperational stage

2-7 years. Represents the world by symbols, such as words and objects.

Piaget's Concrete operational stage

7-11 years. Development of logical thought, problem solving, can mentally reverse information.

Piaget's Formal operational stage

Begins at 12 years. Development of abstract thought.

Erickson's stages of development

Describes stages of personality development. Combines biological needs with cultural expectations focusing on traits of social interaction. Each stage has a psychological conflict that must be resolved to advance on.

Erickson's infancy

Trust vs mistrust. Characteristics: self trust and attachment.

Erickson's late infancy

Autonomy vs shame or doubt. Characteristics: Independence and self control.

Erickson's childhood

Initiative vs guilt. Characteristics: Initiation of own activity.

Erickson's school age

Industry vs inferiority. Characteristics: working in projects for recognition.

Erickson's adolescence

Identity vs role confusion. Characteristics: sense of self physically, sexually, and socially.

Erickson's middle adulthood

Generativity vs stagnation. Characteristics: guiding the next generation.

Erickson's late adulthood

Ego integrity vs despair. Characteristics: sense of wholeness, vitality, and wisdom.

Maslow's hierarchy

Each higher level depends on mastering the one before. 1 physiological survival needs. 2 safety. 3 love, belonging, affection. 4 esteem. 5 self-actualization.

Memory

Process of registration, retention, and recall of past experience, knowledge, and ideas.

Explicit memory

Declarative memory of facts and events.

Implicit or procedural memory

Motor memory. Recall of movement and storage of motor programs.

Immediate memory

Recall after a few seconds.

Short term memory

Memory from a few minutes, hours, and days.

Long term memory

Remote memory from years previously.

Motor control

The ability to maintain and change posture and movement. Occur within small intervals, typically fractions of seconds.

Motor learning

A process that occurs across hours, days, & weeks.

Motor development

Occurs across intervals typically referred to as "age". Measured in months, years, and decades.

Reflex hierarchy

Top-down perspective. The farther up the hierarchy, the more inhibition of lower nervous system structures and reflexes. Inhibition turns response patterns into volitional movements.

Reflex

The basic unit of movement. The pairing if sensory stimulus with a motor response.

Primitive reflexes

Level 1. Simplest reflexes. Located in the spinal cord. Phasic reflexes are typically of short duration.

Tonic reflexes

Level 2. Higher than primitive reflex. Produces changes in muscle tone and posture. Associated with the brain stem.

Righting reactions

Level 3. Align the body with respect to gravity. Associate with the midbrain.

The will and equilibrium reactions

Level 1. The ability to inhibit and control reflexes and initiate purposeful movement. Associated with the cortex.
