- protection during falls
- support, balance
- communication: writing, gesture
- interpretation of sensation
- social responses
- music and art
What are the 5 dveelopments of hand function?

- Sensory development
- Neuromuscular control
- Muscle strength & joint range
- Experience & practice
What is neural growth as a development of hand function?
Maturation and integrity
What are 5 sensory development of hand function?
- touch: leads the hand to grasp & the eye to look
- vision: eye-hand control

What is neuromuscular control as a development of hand function?
stability muscles must provide a postural background for
mobility muscles

What are 4 important features in the assessment setting?
- Quiet, tidy environment
- Seated at a table
- Table and chair height is size matched (ergonomic) for child
- Demonstrate using the child’s perspective (mirror image across the table may be difficult)
- Can sit across (interaction with toys) or next to child (same perceptive –> writing or tracing, using pen)
What is the order of development in the hand?

What is the age emerged, stimulus and response to the reflex grasp?
Age emerged = Newborns
Stimulus = Touch in the palm
Response = All fingers to palm

What does an atypical reflex grasp look like? When is it atypical? What is the complication?
- Persistent reflex, inability to open hand
- Could trigger continuously with own thumb in palm
- In older children
- Long term can cause contracture

What is the age emerged, stimulus, response and atypical response to the tactile grasp?
Age emerged = 10-12 weeks
Stimulus = Touch to the ulnar border
Response = Hand turns, follows then grasps
Atypical = absence of response

What is the age emerged, stimulus, response and atypical response to plucking/clutching?
Age emerged = 3 months
Stimulus = contact with clothing/fabric
Plucks = with lateral / ulnar 3 fingers
Clutches with palm and fingers
Atypical = absence, or persistent grasp

What is the age emerged, stimulus and response to m maintaining grasp on a toy?
Age emerged = 4 months
Stimulus = reaches for toy (eyes watch hand)
Response = grasps, and maintains grasp
Recognise toys coming towards them
Gross motor: prone on elbows (can reach forward to grab toy) or supine to reach antigravity
