Q

How does Equal balance between flexors and extensors affect fine motor skills

A

if you have hightone and constantly flexed, you won’t be able to reach out for forks and self feed. Need an equal balance for controlled smooth movement.

Q

Manipulative Prehension

A

Develops from innate motivation to explore and manipulate the environment.

Q

In preparation for reaching, functions can be either:

A

automatic : moving side to side, rolling

Q

How to we prepare babies for function

A

prone, works on shoulder stability to be able to function later.

shoulder stability - prepare through weight bearing

elbow mobility and control - reaching and against gravity

forearm rotation and control - grabbing things and pulling to the mouth

wrist control - weight bearing on hands.

24
Q

at 4 weeks old what kind ofmovement?

25
at 7 weeks how is movement
still reflex driven but more visual attention and
26
at 12 weeks
less reflexes, better able to play without reflexes keeping us in a certain position
27
grasp and relesase have 4 guiding concepts
reflex activity - become integrated during weight bearing Grasp and associated release begin Grasp and release develop is largely with objects. Early grasp Early-on release is
28
categories of hand use
Constructive Activities: Tool Use: Action on a Surface In-Hand Manipulation Handwriting
29
Primitive reach
Asymmetry Windmill fashion, every limb on it’s own. Swiping: first primitive reach. Hitting something by accident. They will go into ATNR and it bring hand in field of vision
30
Transitional Reach
Skills: Object held with both hands (3-4 months) Two handed reach Object transfer (5 months) Strategies used: Need to develop: Should internal stability Elbow Mobility/control Forearm rotation/control Wrist control
31
Mature Reach
Plays with 2 toys; bang together Coordinated and complementary bimanual movement Coordinated and asymmetrical movement (dominant/assist pattern)
32
mature reach
cross midline use both hands reaching grasp and release coordinated and bimanual movement.

primitive grasp
Primary Grasp: Reflex Primary Release: Reflex driven Swiping: ATNR
41
Transitional Grasp
Sensorimotor Strategies: Weight bearing to prepare arm and hand Righting reactions Postural fixations -> Limit in hand and hand to hand manipulation Visual regarding of hand/object Palm used as a point of stability
42
postural fixation causes what
limits ability to reach and grasp but I need those to get the info into hands.
43
In transitional grasp phase
Scratching/raking Ulnar palmar grasp Reach and Pat Palmar Grasp Radial Palmar Grasp Radial Digital Grasp
44
when can they pass object hand to hand
6 months old
45
Mature grasp
Sensorimotor Strategies: Equilibrium and midline stability reactions provide stable base Internal stability proximally Stabilizes at wrist Within hand manipulation allowed because of increased dissociation and use of pinch grips
46
Visual Orientation: Child adjusts position of the hand in relation to the object before grasping.
Lateral Pinch: holding a key Inferior Pinch – fingers straight Superior Pinch – just tips of fingers touching. Manipulative Prehension – using fingers to play with a toy In hand manipulation (Translation, shift, simple rotation and complex rotation
47
Release Sequence
Involuntary release (birth to 4 months Mouthing and transfers from hand (to 7 months) “Drops” objects with full extension (first volitional release) Release is with control with external support (9-11 months) Refined release- no external support needed (12-15 months)
48
four things that we need for in hand manipulation
Must move independently from each other Need force controlling grip and force to provide the lift of an object. Change in grip force dependent on the texture of the object Tactile input is necessary to update grip force so it can adjust to object as it is held and manipulated in the hand.
49
maturation changes in the hand
Grasp and release are only the beginning of action of an object - true hand skill involves manipulation. Remember all the neurological connections- maturation, practice, repetition, learned function!
50
In hand manipulation 1. Translation: finger to palm
Object grasped by fingertips (pads) and moved into the palm, where it is released to rest on the palm. Emerges around 18-21 mos.
51
In hand manipulation 2. Translation: palm to fingers
Object is moved from the palm of the hands to the fingers. More difficult than fingers to palm. Emerges around 24 mos.
52
In hand maniupation 3. Shift
The object is moved in linear direction across the fingers Involves isolated control of the thumb in opposition Emerges between 24-36 months
53
4. SIMPLE ROTATION
Turning or rolling an object held with the pads of the finger---approximately 90 degree’s or less. Fingers act as a unit with the thumb opposed. Examples---unscrewing a small bottle cap ; picking up a small peg from a table surface; rotating a puzzle piece by turning it slightly to correctly orient it in space Emerges in function around 36 months
54
Rotation of an object around its axis 180 degrees or more. Thumb and finger are opposed and alternate movements as the object rotates. Fingers move independently of one another Example: an object is rotated end over end such as using the eraser of a pencil and returning it to the writing position Emerges around 36 months and is refined through 72 months
5. Complex rotation
55
How does the child become a bilateral / bimanual being?
