3. DEVELOPMENT OF CRAWLING Child tends to begin scooting forward on their belly between months of age. Typically child takes their first official crawling “steps” on their hands and knees with their belly off the floor between 9-11 months of age. Child will tend to use crawling as their primary means of mobility for around 4-6 months. This may appear a straight forward process, however the preparation leading up to crawling begins long before child ever takes those first wonderful steps on their hands and knees. 09-04-2024 3

8. INTRODUCTION This may be regarded as movement in a position and it is such an important and useful activity. When balance and stability in prone kneeling have been established patients can being to practise lifting a hand or knee from floor to balance on ‘three legs’. This makes in possible for the crawling movement to take place in any chosen direction as weight free limb can be lifted and replaced in a new position before taking weight once more. These are given mainly for the : A) mobilization of trunk B) co-ordination of movement C) improvement of endurance 09-04-2024 8

9. INTRODUCTION When resistance is given , it also important the power of trunk muscles. All these crawling exercise are given in various starting position and they have different effects. All these different crawling may be performed with music. Manual resistance can be given around the shoulder and the knees depending on the muscle to be strengthen. Flat pad may be used to protect the knees from undue pressure. Introduction 09-04-2024 9

10. Purpose and Uses  Crawling activities built up co-ordination at whole body including reciprocal movement of arms and legs as required in walking. T he spine is weight free in horizontal movement, the potential rom in the joint increased so crawling is useful for the spine mobilization, also helps in learning control of excessive mobility. A measure of weight bearing on arms and legs stimulates activities in the region of this joint approximation. This can continue in retaining the functions of limb. Crawling provides safe and effective means of moving from one area of room to another area of room for those who has very poor balance in erect position. Patient should be instructed properly which and where limb should be moved during practice. Rest period is given by allowing patient to sit. 09-04-2024 10
