Course Objectives The motor development of the child, which is an important subject in the field of pediatric physiotherapy and rehabilitation, is discussed. This course aims to understand motor development, movement and function development from the fetal period to childhood, to understand the developmental process and principles, to understand the stages of motor development in detail and to teach how to use the features of motor development, movement and function development in pediatric physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • ⁠Understand the characteristics of normal movement, function and motor development at an advanced level.
  • Know the theories of motor development at a comprehensive level.
  • Can distinguish the steps, stages and movement characteristics of motor development.
  • Have comprehensive information about motor development and functional performance tests.
  • Realize the importance of motor development information in pediatric physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices and distinguish normal and abnormal movement and function.
Course Content Terminology and concepts related to normal movement and function development, motor development theories, developmental process and principles, reflex and sensory development, motor development steps, stages, motor development and functional performance tests
