neonate gross motor sequence

physiological flexion

total body response to stim

only active movement = head control

reflex dominated

Neonate FINE motor devel

visually regards objects and people

spontaneous open / close of hands

reflexive grasp

1-3 months (first months) gross motor development

extension against gravity (supine / prone)

head lag in pull to sit
