Pediatric Lab Assignment For this assignment, my groupmates and I decided to use the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale. We chose this assessment because our patient was a chronological age of thirteen months (premature 1 week, 9 days) and were aiming to look at her gross motor function in the following areas: reflexes, stationary, locomotion, object manipulation. Our results provided us with raw scores of: 12 for reflexes, 36 for stationary, 53 for locomotion and 1 for object manipulation. Due to our patient, Olivia, being premature we decided to compare her percentile ranks to her chronological age and her corrected age. Upon doing so, we found that our patient was in higher percentile ranks for her corrected age than her chronological age.
