| developmental milestones | <paediatrics> (1-3 years) In ascending order: masters walking, recognises gender differences, uses up to 8 words and understands simple commands, able to run, pivot and walk backwards, uses spoon to feed self, can name pictures of common objects, can point to body parts, imitates speech of others, begins pedaling tricycle, learns to take turns in play with other children, able to feed self neatly with minimal spill, able to say first and last name, able to draw a line when shown, dresses self with minimal help, learns to share toys without parent direction (12-18 years) In ascending order: boys exhibit secondary sexual characteristics (chest, facial, axillary and pubic hair growth voice changes, penile enlargement), movement into adult height/weight category, cognitive abilities move from simply concrete to abstract, peer acceptance and recognition is vital (3-6 years) In ascending order: rides tricycle well, able to draw a circle, able to draw stick figures, hops on one foot, catches a bounced ball, understands size concepts, enjoys rhymes and word play, able to skip, increased independence in performing tasks without parental assistance, begins to ride bicycle, understands time concepts, begins to recognise written words, starts reading skills, starts school (6-12 years) In ascending order: understands and is able to follow sequential directions, beginning skills for team sports, begins to lose baby teeth and erupt permanent teeth, reading skills develop further, peer recognition becomes important, girls begin to demonstrate secondary sexual characteristics (pubic hair, axillary hair, breast development), first menstrual period may occur (birth-1 year) In ascending order: displays social smile, rolls over by self, able to sit alone without support, babbling, plays peek-a-boo, eruption of first tooth, pulls self to standing position, walks while holding on to furniture or other support, says mama or dada in proper situations, able to drink from cup, understands NO and will stop activity in response, walks without support (27 Sep 1997) |
| developmental psychology | The study of the psychological, physiological, and behavioural changes in an organism that occur from birth to old age. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromioclavicular dislocation | <orthopaedics> Disruption of the normal articulation between the acromion process and the clavicle. The acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) is normally stabilised by several ligaments that can be torn in the process of dislocating the AC joint). See: acromioclavicular sprain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| patellar dislocation | <radiology> most common in young girls, (genu valgum, patella alta, quad mm deficiency more in girls), lateral dislocation, spontaneous reduction, recurrent dislocation, fracture associated in 5-10% (12 Dec 1998) |
| perilunar dislocation | Dislocation of carpal bones around the lunate, which remains in relation to the radius; distinguish from dislocation of lunate, Kienbock's dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perilunate dislocation | <radiology> Lunate remains aligned with radius, capitate dislocates (usually posteriorly), more common than lunate dislocation (radial-lunate ligaments stronger than lunate-capitate ligaments), associated with scaphoid fractures (75%) = transscaphoid perilunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| chopart fracture-dislocation | <radiology> A fracture-dislocation occuring through the hindfoot-midfoot joint (i.e., tarsonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints) (12 Dec 1998) |
| closed dislocation | A dislocation not complicated by an external wound. Synonym: simple dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compound dislocation | Synonym: open dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wrist dislocation | <radiology> 10% of all carpal injuries due to fall on outstretched hand, perilunate dislocation (more common), lunate dislocation (12 Dec 1998) |
| shoulder dislocation | <radiology> Anterior (subcoracoid), humerus may lead to beneath coracoid process, anterior to glenoid, most frequent site and type of dislocation of any joint, easily detected, repeated dislocation most likely to be Hill-Sachs deformity and/or Bankhart deformity, posterior, 2 - 4% of shoulder dislocations, 50% due to seizures; trauma, electrical shock, often missed on AP view: use Y or axillary view, rim sign in acute dislocation, increased glenohumeral space (normal 6 mm may lead to widened to 14 mm), with or without compression fracture of anterior surface of humeral head, 20% most likely to be associated fracture (12 Dec 1998) |
| simple dislocation | A dislocation not complicated by an external wound. Synonym: simple dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
