Components and sub components of upper body in siting position
SITTING POSTURE IS GROSS MOTOR SKILL
Ingredients of siting posture-
- head control
- Proximal stability
- hand function
- trunk control
HEAD CONTROL-
reflex integration (physical development -creeping ,crawling so on)
vision normal
visual function efficiently
ear normal
hearing function efficiently
PROXIMAL STABILITY-
shoulder range of motion (helps in reaching forward / backward)
shoulder strength (pushups ,retracting object from overhead)
dissociation ( wrist and hand dissociation allows writing smoothly)
TRUNK CONTROL -
spine (sitting erecting,bending twisting movements)
core muscles strength (siting erect in chair)
movement to sides and bending ( when siting in chair picking up an object bending sideways )
HAND FUNCTION-
grasp (Holding ball)
grip ( opening closing a clip)
in hand manipulation ( handling too many coins in a hand)
BILATERAL INTEGRATION -
(eg.catching ball & stabilizing with one hand while other hand is into writing)
