Document Summary

Early locomotion (pre-walking: crawling ( commando crawl ): moving on hands and abdomen, creeping: moving on hands and knees, other forms of early locomotion hands & feet. Later walking: maximizing stability**: out-toeing ______increases_______, stride length ___decreases_________________, pelvic rotation __________decreases_____________, speed _____decreases__________, objects are used as balance aids, rate controllers in later walking, decrease in muscle mass, osteoporosis, decrease stability, balance, fear of falling. Proficient hopping: swing leg leads hip and moves through full range of motion, support leg extends fully at hip, oppositional arm movement generates force, support leg is flexed on landing. Other locomotor skills: galloping, sliding, skipping: involve combination of skills previously obtained: stepping, hopping, leaping (roberton. Developmental changes in galloping, sliding, skipping: galloping is the first to emerge (around 2-3 years of age, sliding comes next, skipping is usually the last to emerge (around 4-7 years of age)
