I'm hoping you have since advanced in your knowledge of infant movement, but in case you didn't know, the way infants/children organize movement is vastly different from an adult. Most important to note, muscles do not create movement, rather, muscles respond to movement that is created by the skeletal system in response to forces of gravity, buoyancy etc. The development of our body and brain organizes around and in reaction to the force of gravity. (this is why age adjusting should only be used for organ functions, not motor) The ability to oppose gravity is intrinsic to all living organisms, and there are two foundational movements that directly oppose gravity, on which all other, more complex movements are built. These are rotation and counterbalance. I could go on, but at least now you've been introduced to the concept. Up to you, but I highly recommend looking further into this and the Newborn/Child Movement Assessment produced by MIchelle Turner (not me 😉) With this assessment method you won't have to exlude the kids who really need assessing for early intervention -- CP, SMA...Good luck! never stop learning.

Thank you!

You're amazing 😇. Please continue.

Thanks a lot, Warren. You're awesome 😊

Thanks a lot! We'll try most of these exercises.

Can you do this with kids every day?

Thanks! I'm struggling post hand fracture!

2 years later and still help me alot with your explanation, thank you!

seus vídeos são muito bons e de qualidade, obrigada por compartilhar seus conhecimentos! (Your videos are very good and of high quality, thank you for sharing your knowledge!)

Please could you do a video for other variants of getting onto standing position for older children, in particular it hypermobile. I’m thinking of the transition to single leg kneeling, kneeling to standing and walking. I have a 3yr old patient with bilateral hip dysplasia which was missed until she was almost 3. Never crawled or walked. Now post op given no follow up support as told she will learn in her own time. We are now at high kneel stage and crawling thanks to your help

Stretches at 17:45

Very helpful thank you.

Is there any other techniques for baby 9-12 month ?

Plz reply the best sleeping position for troticollis baby

Can you comment on how long to practice placing the baby prone for at a time and how many episodes per day at this age range? Your videos are fantastic please do some more baby ones!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have a question. Can I do all this exercises from 3 month?

What if the score falls on completely blank space on the graph. How do I interpret it? How do I come up with the percentile rank and standard deviation

I really liked how you explained everything I have a presentation on GMFM coming up. I would love to see a video of how to go about the scoring.

Excellent content, very helpful

I need to know how to put on PANTS (not trousers) and tights, especially in a toilet, i.e. not lying down! Any hints there would be good.

very useful info thanks

Thank you soso soooooooo much for the video

But bless you for trying 🎉

Again spasticity preventing knee bending makes this not possible I see

Pretty good thank you Could you try that without bending the left knee ?that is what we, with severe spasticity are facing Thank you

Підкажіть, будь ласка, чи є вже переклад на українську мову цієї шкали і бланк шкали для огляду (якщо знаєте)?

Can you explain your thought process on the use of the AIMS vs the PDMS-II in children 0-12 months?

Thank you! This is very helpful for an OT fieldwork student! 💜

Just wondering, where is your office based at? Would be wonderful if it were in Florida! I just took my 4 month in to see a physical therapist in regards to her right torticollis and I just felt rushed and that he wasn’t super educated in this type of problem. Frustrating. First I was told when she was born that she will “grow out of it.” Her case is mild because I’ve been on top of doing stretches BUT she still favors leaning her head to the right.. 😕 THANK YOU so very much for you video. Wish there were more of you!

what is mcid of 88?

Thank youuuu so helpful!

Hi Warren! Can you get a composite score for Gross Motor portion of BOT-2? The Composite, Stanine and Percentile Ranking is what my EMR is prompting, but I am unsure of how to find this.

Though useful, a man doesn’t have boobs and I can tell you that it’s hard to see the hooks when your boob is in the way😂😂😂😂😅

Really a man, because bras are more than just simply the mechanics. Try this in a change room.

Excellent video, clear, concise, I will share this video with my DPT students. Thank you!

I love the way you explain❤

Thank you so much for this🙏 my boy is 10 months old, not sitting without support and not crowling yet. So am working on sitting balance

your videos are super helpful, especially as a PT that has made the transition to paedatrics from the adult ortho world, I very much appreciate your concise but informative content!

I don’t administer the Peabody often so this was a great refresher! Thanks so much! :)

tried this - fractured wrist - your boobs get in the way so you can't see what you're doing and because i wear properly fitted bras that support you, they fit firmly around the chest; pull the other side round and the bit you're clamping pings away. great vid for flat chested women - who don't need a bra! so it's back to asking my - male - neighbour each day! cripes! pressing up against a door is impossible too cos boobs get in the way. a no go for me, but nice try.

1:01 my daughter has been holding it to one side but looking and tilting to one side. What can I do to help?

You know man , I am so glad I came across this explanation right before my Peds final in PT school. She didn't do a good job explaining it but made sure to make us score it on final lol / Hopefully I will remember it till tomorrow, Thank you!

Thank you for great explanation. Is there a cut off score where it determines if the baby has developmental delay or not?

D,c

Brilliant, thanks!

Thanks I've been doing this instinctively with my granddaughter who back arches and is slightly hypertonic. Her paediatrician says she will have a neurological test when she's two years old, which seems a long time to wait, considering shes currently 8.5 ( 6.5 months corrected age), and was MCDA twin preemie. I'm very glad to see these videos, which I'm sure will be extremely helpful

What happens if a child’s scores between the lines on the graph? I.e between the fifth and 10th percentile. Is the appendix II, or the graph on the back a more reliable way for percentile?

if you are not a doctor or a pharmacist, then why are you talking about any drugs? And muscle spasticity is not normal...

If I can send my kids report on this, can you suggest activities improving the problem area...?

This technique is great maybe up to a D cup. Luckily I will only be one-handed for a month or so with carpal tunnel surgery. Can you please show how you would do this with size 38L breasts? I have roughly 25 lbs of breast tissue that fully covers the area where I would rotate the bra. Also if you are wearing larger size underwire bras, flipping the cups up will RUIN the bra. My dominant hand surgery is in a month and I am really desperate for a workable solution that isn't a painful 45 minute wrestling match.
