Week 5 and 6 study Flashcards
What Grasp pattern?
Dynamic tripod
What are the 4 mature grasp patterns?
Dynamic tripod, lateral tripod, dynamic quadrupod, lateral quadrupod
Mature VS immature grasp
How are they “produced”?
How can you improve immature?
- Mature grasp pattern produced by intrinsic mm of hand
- Immature grasp pattern produced by extrinsic mm of the arm. This leaves the fingers in a static posture
- Look at intrinsic mm and try to improve mature grasp through targeting muscles in HEP.
4 elements of efficient grasps
proximal stability
stability within the hand
mobility within the hand
muscle tone
stability is on the _____ side of hand.
Mobility is on the _____ side.
mm tone provides ___ ___..
How does hyper/hypo tone effect grasp?
what are interventions for each?
- Stability on ulnar side of hands
- Mobility on radial side (thumb)
- Increased tone spasticity=decreased mobility and flexibility
- Stretching exercises, weight bearing, dynamic splinting
- Decreased tone = decreased joint stability
- Orthotics! Give them stability they need.
functional wrist postition is
how can we help a child acheive this easily?
40-45 degrees wrist extension
15 degrees ulnar deviation
Interventions for child to facilitate wrist extension in a child to help handwriting.
Bouncing ball, playing drums. Use slant board/ write on wall board. Light bright toy.
ALWAYS go GROSS TO FINE MOTOR when doing the
Pinch grasp patterns
How to Document if don’t know?
A. Radial cross palmar grasp
B. Palmar supinate grasp
C. digital Pronate grasp
F. Cross thumb grasp
G= Static tripod Grasp
H. Four Finger Grasp
I. Lateral Tripod grasp
J. Dynamic tripod grasp
When documenting write what you see instead of categorizing it. (how many fingers, extension/flexion, forearm and wrist position. Grasps-Gross, tips, pinch
what do the palmar arches do?
Support functional position
“cups” hand for cocave surface
accomodates objects
oppose thumb to fingers
move object with hand against palm
The _____ arch splits hands right and left
The ______ arch goes from pinky to thumb
the ________ arch is furthest away
How do we get a defined arch?
what condition presents with underdeveloped oblique arch?
- C. Longitudinal arch splits hands right and left
- B. Oblique arch from pink to thumb
- A. Furthest away distal transverse
*Children with down syndrome tend to not have a great oblique arch
*In order to get a defined arch child needs to crawl!!! Weight bearing on hands defines the arches
Dissociation of the two sides of hand AKA _____.
the Ulnar side gives _____ for grip and _____ for hand.
the Radial side provides ____ and is the “____” side.
AKA Hand separation
- Ulnar = power (ring finger and pinky). Provides stability for hand and power for grip.
- Radial= skilled side (thumb, index and middle fingers) provides mobility
describe the 5 types of in hand manipulation AKA ______.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
- Finger to palm translation
- Palm to finger translation in the video
- Shift (example of picking up pencil or threading a needle)
- Simple rotation- 90 degrees or less
- Complex rotation- reposition 180-360 degrees within the palm
Scissor skills involve:
FM coordination AKA ______.
using both hands but for different jobs (Turn/hold paper, cut with scissors etc.) AKA _______.
Also involves ______ coordination.
- Fine-motor coordination (AKA interdigital dexterity)
-
Bilateral coordination
- When kids hold paper with non dominant hand and don’t turn paper. Arm stays still= Poor bilateral coordination
- Eye-hand coordination
Prerequisites for scissors
- Use a fork or spoon.
- Open and close his/her hand.
- Use his/her hands together in a leader/helper way
- Isolate the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
- Stabilize his/her shoulder, forearm, and wrist
Cutting skill progression
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
- cutting scrap paper
- snipping the edges
- cutting straight lines
- cutting angles
- cutting curves
What are some wrong scissor techniques?
Down grades for scissor use?
Hand pronated
thumb too far in hole (shouldnt be on joint)
using 2 hands (DO NOT ALLOW)
Fingers outside of holes/ in extension (sign of poor hand separation)
hold paper with forearm NOT supinated
wrist extension
poor positioning/ no support
avoiding crossing midline by turning body
Adaptive scissors, keep paper on table for stability, use a line drawn on paper as visual support,
