Day 2: 9.00 – 17.30
Day 3: 9.00 – 17.30
COURSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
1. Demonstrate an understanding of developmental kinesiology in depth with an emphasis on development during the first year of life. Basic sagittal stabilization, postural-locomotion function, stepping forward and supporting extremity function.
2. Describe the basis for primitive reflexes and postural reactions and their roles in developmental kinesiology.
3. Red flags in the development during the first year of life.
4. Assessment of baby’s developmental age. Developmental and chronological age correlation (baby demonstration)
5. Describe the relationship between development during the first year of life and pathology of the locomotor system in adulthood.
6. Assess the integrated stabilizing system of the spine both visually and utilizing dynamic functional DNS tests in children.
7. Clarify how DNS corrective exercises can integrate with other exercise strategies
8. Evaluate and correct poor respiratory patterns.
9. DNS principles for baby handling in positions that corresponds to developmental positions of the baby age 0-7m. Devices used for carrying babies, yes or no, how and why?
10. Child with asymmetry (oblique neck, oblique pelvis, plagiocephaly and their consequences to the development)
11. Demonstrations of baby assessment and treatment based on DNS principles.
12. Toddlers and preschool children exercises according to DNS, easy positions without differentiation
After the DNS Pediatric 1 course participants should be able to assess the spontaneous locomotor function of a child and distinguished between physiological and pathological movement pattern. The emphasis is put on assessment of quality of a movement and assessment of the basic primitive reflexes.
