Tumble Forms 5
Pediatric Tumble Forms
Tumble Form | Purpose |
---|---|
Balance: | The ability to maintain balance is fundamental to advanced perceptual motor activities. |
What 4 things provide the knowledge for preceiving body orientation in space. | biological balance mechanisms, vision, tactile info, proprioceptor feedback. |
what type of movements assists the entire body in dramatically developing balance. | Rhythmic movements |
Activities using the Soft Top Rocker Balance Board are used to: | strengthen balance, sense of body awareness and spatial orientation. |
Soft Top Rocker Balance Board: Developing equilibrium reaction, trunk strengthening, eye/hand coordination, sense of body awareness | Practice getting on/off Board fwd, bkwd,sideways. |
Soft Top Rocker Balance Board: Developing equilibrium reaction, trunk strengthening, eye/hand coordination, sense of body awareness | Sit cross-legged on Board while therapist rocks Board back/forth while child is asked to maintain balance. |
Soft Top Rocker Balance Board: Developing equilibrium reaction, trunk strengthening, eye/hand coordination, sense of body awareness | Sitting on Board, UE movements (swimming movements) may be acted out alternating (R) & (L) UE's. |
Soft Top Rocker Balance Board: Developing equilibrium reaction, trunk strengthening, eye/hand coordination, sense of body awareness | Sitting ok kneling, child rolls their head to one side and focuses on a target, then to the other side. Have child roll head in complete circles. |
Soft Top Rocker Balance Board: Developing equilibrium reaction, trunk strengthening, eye/hand coordination, sense of body awareness | sitting, kneeling, or standing, child rocks slowly back/forth on Board. Slow rhythmic pattern more effective when done to music. |
Soft Top Rocker Balance Board: Developing equilibrium reaction, trunk strengthening, eye/hand coordination, sense of body awareness | Sitting or kneeling, child moves arms in circles: both in same direction/opposition, one & then the other, moving one arm & then the other in opposition |
Soft Top Rocker Balance Board: Developing equilibrium reaction, trunk strengthening, eye/hand coordination, sense of body awareness | Child balances on Board, either sitting, kneeling or standing &: folds arms on chest, raises arms above head, extends arms out to sides, bends down/touches toes, originates own movements |
Jettmobile scooter aids ____ | movement by maintaining child in symmetrical prone position while pushing/pulling with UEs. |
Jettmobile: Chest Wedge | Raises chest an additional 2.5" if arm extension adjustment is needed. Held in place with Velcro fastners. |
Jettmobile: Side Spacer | Reduce abduction by 1" or 2".Shaped like half moons. Used on back of Jettmobile, fasten w/Velcro fastners. |
Jettmobile: Abductor wedge | Severe postural asymmetry can be accomodated by adjusting block (L)-> (R). Also attached w/Velcro fastners. |
Jettmobile: Hip Strap | Used for secure positioning. Helpful in reducing abnormal hip flexion, allows for adjustment fore and aft. |
Jettmobile: Head/Trunk Control | Symmetrically position in prone snuggly on scooter. (A) child w/realizing head/trunk extension are prerequisite to UE function. |
Jettmobile: Head/Trunk Control | Head/trunk extension can be emphasized by pulling child along who is grasping the pull rope while prone. |
Children w/ ____ _____ would benefit from activities in prone on Scooter. | spina bifida |
Jettmobile: UE's | Facilitates development of UEs, encouraging bilateral motor coordination/improve strength &endurance of arms/hands. |
Jettmobile: Sensorimotor | Spin scooter around in a circle asking child to use hand-over-hand movements, changing direcn from clockwise to counterclockwise. Very stimulating act. |
Jettmobile: Hip extension | While in prone in a snug, symmetrical, abducted and externally rotated leg position, gradually tighten Velcro belt to reduce hip flexion. The slight incline on front/rear decks encourages hip extension as child's hip are positioned in middle of scooter. |
Turtle (def) | Designed for vestibular stimulation and SI therapy. Comes with a "T" stool attachment, net swing w/rope & height adjuster, various textured balls/bean bags, & a folder for info. |
Turtle: Equilibrium reactions/trunk strengthening | Sit cross-legged on disc and therapist provides movement through space, ask child 2 maintain balance. |
Turtle: Proprioception to LEs, equilibrium reactions, eye-hand coordination | Child sits on inverted disk w/feet on floor and attempts to maintain balance. Throw/catch/games can be played. |
Turtle: Proprioception to UEs and reflex integration or eye-hand coordination | Child lies prone over inverted disk WB on UEs. UEs weight shifting in this position is facilitated by asking child to toss bean bags at a target w/one hand. |
Turtle: Eye foot coordination, proprioception to LEs and equilibrium reaction | Child sits on scooter board (lid to storage comrtment in Turtle dome) and uses both feet to propel while holding on w/both hands. |
Turtle: Bilateral motor coordination, prone extension posture, muscle cocontraction/UE proprioception | Child lies prone on scooter board, using arms to propel self. Various tag/relay games can be employed in this position. |
Turtle: LE WB equilibrium reactions and eye-hand coordination | Sit on T-stool, feet flat on floor and attempts to maintain balance. Throw/catch games can be played in this position. |
Turtle: Vestibular stimulation, reflex integration, uscle cocontraction proprioception | Lie prone in net swing/use both hands on floor to propel self. Monitor type and speed of stimulation. |
Bubble: | basic vestibular stimulation, SI integration system. Similar to Turtle. |
