Peds Motor Control: FM Skills
Question | Answer |
---|---|
FM Development (def) | ability to use eyes, hands and fingers together to complete fine, precise movements that are necessary for performing a variety of daily activities. |
Elements that make up foundation of FM skill development: | Bilateral Motor Control (large and small, proximal/distal, muscle control), Reaching/grasping (reaching is the building on proximal and distal control of and is the key component in grasping and object manipulation), Object manipulation, Implement usage |
Refined object manipulation (def) | follows after and is built on the foregoing elements and involves construction and in hand manipulation activities. |
In-hand manipulation activities (def) | moving objects within the hand and include adjusting a toy or object within the hand, rotating an object in the hand or picking up manipulating an object in the hand. |
