Variability is a key component of typical development. A lack of variability in development may be related to developmental delay. This course will describe the development of variable and adaptive postural control in typical development and in infants at high risk of disabilities. The role of early experience in development will be highlighted. The implication for assessment is highlighted.

1. Background on Postural Control
This chapter will start with an overview of postural control terminology. Next we will review the historical assessment of postural control.
2. Perception Action and the Role of Experience in Postural Control
This chapter will present the theoretical background for the impact of the environment on postural control. Perception action theory will be interpreted and linked to the typical variability seen in infant development.
3. Development of Variable and Adaptive Postural Control
This chapter will introduce the concepts of postural statistical variability and postural complexity as important factor in development. In addition, the role of postural adaptability will be highlighted. Comparisons of development of variable and adaptive postural control in child who are typically developing and those with motor delays will be included.
4. Postural Control: Implication for Assessment
This chapter will discuss the implications of variable and adaptive postural control on clinical assessment of infants.
