Scooting around on : her back by arching means there is an imbalance in the strength & tone of her extenstor muscles vs. her flexor muscles. The cause is often from atypical development of or injury to the brain or central nervous system during fetal development. Her pediatrician may order an MRI of the brain & other studies & refer her to a pediatric neurologist & physical therapist after clinical evaluation.
