Examination & Tx of UE Function Flashcards
Model:
- Define pt’s roles [participation]
- What skills are needed [activities]
- What resources does the pt have/lacks
- Set goals related to functional recovery
Enablement Model
List factors that affect reach-and-grasp movements (6)

- Location with respect to body
List the functional roles of the UE (6)
- Balance [arm swing w/gait]
- Point/Gesturing
- WB
- Reaching
- Grasping
- Manipulation
Theory: The process by which various brain and spinal centers work cooperatively to accommodate the demands of intended movements
