OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	By examining the normal postnatal development process in terms of reflex and motor developmental stages, together with the factors affecting movement and function, developmental biomechanics, development of spinal curves, nervous system, reflexes, development of sense and perception, development of cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, psychomotor system and pathological reflexes in terms of normal developmental stages. It is aimed to gain knowledge and skills related to movement dysfunctions and motor development tests and their application.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Normal development, embryonic development, infant development, factors affecting movement development, psychomotor development, motor organization levels, newborn evaluation, pathological reflexes, reflexes and correction reactions and motor development tests.
