Day 1 Presenter: Dr. Mary Massery
1. Use the Soda Pop Can Model to describe how the mechanics of breathing & postural control are inter-active & inter-dependent components of normal movement strategies.
2. Describe the multiple, simultaneous roles of the diaphragm as related to breathing, postural control, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation & venous return.
3. Describe how the cardiovascular-pulmonary, neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, integumentfascial, & internal organ systems interact to simultaneously support the physiology & the physical functions of the trunk which are necessary to upright postural control (sitting, standing, walking).
4. Position children for optimal cardiopulmonary function (physiological & biomechanical) with simple equipment such as towel rolls & pillows in recumbent & upright positions for use in & out of hospital settings.
5.Optimize the child’s motor function by integrating appropriate ventilatory strategies with all movements from low level activities such as taking a breath off of a ventilator, to rolling over in bed, or to high level skills such as running and jumping.
6. Apply theoretical concepts to multiple clinical cases throughout the day.
