An Investigation Into the Development of Early Postural Control

Abstract: SUMMARY Eighteen normal infants were studied longitudinally using video and photographic records of their levels of lying and sitting ability. A developmental sequence of postural control in lying and sitting was confirmed in the normal infants. All infants reached level 4 prone and supine lying ability before achieving level 3 sitting ability (maintaining independent sitting). 34 children with cerebral palsy in a cross‐sectional study could be ascribed a level of sitting or lying ability. The relationship fou… Show more

“…Behavioral development in infancy can often be linked to previous experience with seemingly unrelated activities. For instance, a certain level of experience and control in prone and supine precedes the onset of independent sitting (Green, Mulcahy, & Pountney, 1995). Prone experience is connected to the development of creeping on hands and knees as it allows infants to coordinate the co‐occurrences of head orienting, reaching, and kicking (Goldfield, 1989).…”

“…The studied variables were motor and oral abilities, being defined as motor ability the corporal response for the positions: supine, prone, seating, and standing. Each child was placed on a tempered glass table, inspired on the model of the Center of Chailey Heritage in England (12), warmed at 29oCelsius, with mirror inclined at 45° for visualization of the support points positioned in: supine, prone, seating, and standing with subjects with up to 4 months of age; seated without support for the 6, 9, 12 months old and deambulation on the table and ground for the 9, 12 and 24 months old.…”

“…The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (11) evaluates children on the prone, supine, seating and standing positions and weight discharge. Similarly Green e Pountney (12) developed measurements of the Chailey Levels of Abilities. This way the evaluations of motor behavior must allow to quantify and to characterize small ability changes on the first months of age showing the posture control evolution and the sequence of acquisitions during an evolutive study (11).…”
