Developmental Implications of Crawling in Pediatric Therapy

i liked the example of activities she provided.

i felt this podcast format was more difficult to focus on as compared to the recent one hour video\/webinar programs i have been watching as the instructor spoke more quickly like she was reading the material rather than the conversational format the presenters in the videos have used.

i really appreciated this podcast and will be using it as a reference for an upcoming presentation i am giving at an early intervention conference on the importance of four point creeping.

very simple and easy to follow and listen to

graphic was fuzzy, resource materials were not thorough

i don't think i like podcasts for learning materials such as this. will probably steer away from them. must be a visual learner.

no! thought it was helpful and a good refresher

enjoyed, supporting materials could have been more, slide 8 is blurry - hard to read.

none. the information was helpful.

foundational knowledge information presented with an emphasis on impairments (undergraduate information or first year of pt school information) with a lack of carryover to function, variability of movement, and long term impacts. too much emphasis on body impairments and not functional impacts. no evidence given on the "impacts" of not crawling and weak to bo research presented to support the necessity of creeping. most intervention ideas were impairment level ideas without supporting research or functional impact. dmi is not research based and there is a call to reduce its use. presenter presented dmi as it being used at her clinic as well as brands for vibration plates. course did not actually address developmental implications of creeping or not in a functional way. didn't include current research to support treatment ideas. confusing as to who this podcast is for with the use of biomechanics terms with podcast audience stated as for parents. with this terminology and explanations, it is geared at a graduate student or new professional. there are similar muscular activation patterns in creeping, how does that carry over to walking when walking is different task with different demands%3f what about the studies demonstrating similar results in environmental processing with other means of on time mobility compared to creeping%3f what functional impacts have been researched regarding eye convergence in children who creep vs those that don't%3f wha about cultures who do not emphasize creeping%3f if there are 18 different styles of crawling, in addition to scooting and army crawling, why is there an importance of creeping with symmetrical movements when most of these children progress through milestones without intervention%3f overall this course is not in line with best practice as it relates to motor learning and gave no information on how bow emphasizing impairment level interventions impacts a child's overall development, function, and participation as well as the well researched information gmfc levels and patterns of functional mobility. pardon formatting, completed on a mobile device.
