To avoid unneccessary pain and resistance to therapy

27
Q

What is the purpose of serial casting in pediatric hand interventions?

A

to increase range of motion
(over time serial casting increases range of motion)

28
Q

Name one type of sensory input that can be beneficial during weight-bearing activities.

A

Rough or smooth textures

29
Q

What is the main goal when using preparatory activities in hand skill interventions?

A

To prepare the child for goal oriented tasks

30
Q

Describe one strategy for helping a child develop in-hand manipulation.

A

Twirling a pencil in their hand

31
Q

What is one activity that can provide proprioceptive input for children?

A

Weight-bearing activity

32
Q

Explain the purpose of positioning in hand skill intervention sessions.

A

To provide stability and optimal positioning for hand functions.

33
Q

Why might adaptive equipment be used in hand skill interventions?

A

To accommodate or enhance functional abilities

34
Q

What is a major consideration when setting goals in occupation-based interventions?

A

setting goals based on the childs needs and environment

34
Q

Identify one specific intervention that might be used for children with sensory deficits.

A

sensory integration

35
Q

What is the main purpose of using soft splints in pediatric patients?

What hand skill is developed through activities like playing with Legos?

A

In-hand manipulation

38
Q

Describe the concept of “bimanual activities” in hand skill development.

A

Activities requiring both hands, catching a ball

38

  • To limit movement without rigidity
49
Q

True/ False: CIMT and HABIT are used with children who have CP or TBI/ABI with the least amount of motor impairment.

A

True

50
Q

These are characteristics of which type of therapy?
1. time frame varies b/w 10-15 days for 6 hours daily
2. Improving the ability to perform bimanual activities.

A

Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT)

50
Q

These are characteristics of which type of therapy?
1. Use of impaired arm is facilitated by the therapist for 6-8 hours per day.
2. shorter durations like 3 hours a day have similar outcomes
3. “Shaping” Strategies (a target behavior is reinforced) are used
4. Goals are set with the family

A

Constrant-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)

51
Q

Why was HABIT developed?

A

Concerns that CIMT could cause anxiety and frustration for the child.

52
Q

True/False: Researchers who use CIMT typically incorpaorate HABIT activities the last 5 days of CIMT therapy to increase bilateral function-(usually happens at the end).

A

True
