  2. Identify at least 5 aspects of the typical acquisition of coming to vertical, stance, and gait.<\/li>
  3. identify the biomechanical alignment that is most energy efficient in the acquisition of function in vertical via slides and video.<\/li>
  4. Use task analysis to identify the postural & mobility requirements for functional activities in vertical and gait.<\/li>
  5. Compare and contrast the posture and mobility components required for functional use of arms and legs in vertical between the typically developing child and the child with neuromuscular challenges, with applications to function.<\/li>
  6. Identify components of effective foot alignment in weight bearing and how to promote this alignment for skills performed in vertical.<\/li>
  7. Facilitate at least 15 treatment techniques required in movement transitions and functional skill in vertical that are appropriate for a variety of children with neuromuscular challenge on another adult in lab.<\/li>
