GENERAL DEVELOPMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
DEVELOPMENT OF HAND SKILLS
Reach and Carry
FIGURE 10-1 This typically developing child demonstrates reach with trunk rotation, full elbow extension, slight forearm rotation, and wrist stability, yet some degree of excess finger extension before grasp.
Grasp Patterns
Classification
FIGURE 10-2 A, Hook grasp used to carry a child’s art case. B, Power grasp with the right hand, used in cutting bread.
FIGURE 10-3 Lateral pinch with the right hand, used to open a lock on a door.
FIGURE 10-4 A, Pincer grasp, used to place “food” for the “climbing polar bears.” B, This child uses variations of a three-jaw chuck grasp with her right hand, depending on task demands.
FIGURE 10-5 Tip pinch with the right hand, used to complete a bead craft project. Normal radial grasps, such as the tip pinch, are accompanied by slight forearm supination.
FIGURE 10-6 Spherical grasp, used in preparation to throw a ball.
FIGURE 10-7 This child uses a cylindrical grasp with his left hand and a disk grasp with his right hand to open a jar. Note the grading of finger abduction with the left hand to provide adequate stability to the jar.
Sequential Development of Grasp Patterns
BOX 10-1 Approaches to Describing the Progression of Grasp Development
FIGURE 10-8 Ulnar-palmar grasp. The index finger and thumb are not used in this pattern.
FIGURE 10-9 This baby uses a radial-digital grasp with both hands to hold a toy for shaking and mouthing.
In-Hand Manipulation Skills
Classification
FIGURE 10-10 A,The child shows the ability to keep the palm in a cupped position to hold several stones for a game. The forearm is in almost full supination. B, Palm-to-finger translation with stabilization is initiated for one of the stones while the other stones are retained in the palm. The translation movement produced by the fingers is accompanied by forearm rotation into midposition. C, Palm-to-finger translation with stabilization is completed for one stone. The other stones are retained in the hand by flexion of the ulnar fingers. The forearm moves toward pronation to assist with placement of the stone on the game board.
Developmental Considerations
Voluntary Release
Bilateral Hand Use
FIGURE 10-11 A, Full finger extension and some wrist movement occur with voluntary release. Note the visual regard of the object being released. B, The child’s shoulder, elbow, and wrist are stable, and less finger extension occurs with release. The child visually monitors release of the object into a small container. C, Stability of the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and fingers combines with perceptual development to promote accurate placement of objects. This 5-year-old is able to use forearm supination to midposition with controlled finger extension. In this challenging task, only slight overextension of the fingers occurs.
Ball-Throwing Skills
Tool Use
Hand Preference
RELATIONSHIP OF HAND SKILLS TO CHILDREN’S OCCUPATIONS
Play
Activities of Daily Living
FIGURE 10-12 A, Different grasp patterns are used in preparation for putting toothpaste on a toothbrush. The child uses just-right force to stabilize the toothbrush with a modified power grasp (with supination to midposition) while using a cylindrical grasp on the toothpaste container. B, The child has used forearm supination and the in-hand manipulation skill of simple rotation to position the toothpaste container for application of the toothpaste to the toothbrush.
FIGURE 10-13 A, The child grasps the spoon from the table surface with a radial-digital grasp. The forearm is slightly supinated. B, He uses the in-hand manipulation skill of complex rotation to move the handle of the spoon from the palmar surface of his hand toward the web space between the index finger and thumb. Isolation and differentiation of the index finger and thumb are needed to produce this rotation. Forearm movement toward midposition assists. C, The child completes spoon positioning in his hand by moving the spoon so that the end of the handle is stabilized in the web space. Additional flexion of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the fingers while extension of the interphalangeal (IP) joints is sustained assists with optimal positioning for eating.
School Functions
GENERAL MOTOR PROBLEMS THAT AFFECT HAND SKILLS
FIGURE 10-14 A, This child, who has involuntary movement, demonstrates the attempt to find stability by locking her left elbow with the arm in extension and by elevating her right shoulder during hand use. She also has difficulty isolating upper extremity movements and using the two hands together at midline. B, During voluntary release this child shows overextension and increased abduction of the fingers, with hyperextension at the MCP joints of the ulnar fingers. He also shows adduction of the thumb rather than slight abduction.
FIGURE 10-15 Poor trunk stability affects the upper extremity range of motion that this child can use. Note the right forearm pronation and wrist flexion. The child is unable to use a three-jaw chuck, or pincer, grasp effectively on the materials. However, she demonstrates awareness of the need to use both hands in this manipulative activity and good visual monitoring of the materials.

Positioning the Child
FIGURE 10-16 This child is seated at a table that is an appropriate height for tabletop activities. She can effectively place her arms on the surface without elevating her shoulders. Arm support on the surface, elbow flexion, and handing her the candles in a vertical position rather than having her grasp them from a table surface encourages the child’s use of forearm supination and fingertip control during grasp and placement of the candles on the clay birthday cake.

BOX 10-3 Typical Sequence of Reaching Patterns Used to Enhance Shoulder Flexion, Neutral Rotation, and Elbow Extension*
FIGURE 10-17 Facilitation is provided to prompt use of slight humeral external rotation and forearm supination. The object is held vertically to assist this reaching pattern. A lotto card game is used to engage the child and allow for repetition of the pattern.
Enhancement of Grasp Skills
Problems
FIGURE 10-18 When this child combines reach with grasp, he demonstrates significant difficulties with effective hand positioning. Note the slight wrist flexion, the thumb adduction with IP joint extension, and the finger MCP joint hyperextension with IP flexion that he uses in an attempt to achieve stability with this grasp. The arm positioning in abduction and internal rotation (not shown) contribute to use of this grasp pattern.
Goals
Intervention Strategies
Children with Severe Disabilities
Children with Moderate Disabilities
FIGURE 10-19 A, The child shows the ability to use a controlled radial-digital grasp pattern with the wrist in a neutral position, thumb opposition, and appropriate finger flexion when he is not asked to combine reach with grasp. Note that the therapist’s presentation of the object helps ensure that the child will grasp the object with his fingertips. Her grasp also ensures that the object remains stable while the child initiates the grasp pattern. B, The child practices grasping from the therapist’s hand. His arm is stabilized on his leg during this grasp. The therapist’s hand provides some degree of stability to prevent the object from moving during initiation of grasp.
Children with Mild Disabilities
FIGURE 10-20 The child uses a substitution for a standard pincer grasp or tip pinch. Note that with slight adduction of the thumb, the pad of the thumb is more aligned with the middle finger than the index finger. The index finger is slightly too flexed to participate in the grasp.

FIGURE 10-23 A, The child is forming a picture with a set of puzzle blocks. He is encouraged to find the side of the block that fits the design being constructed. The therapist has placed the correct side of the block against the palm of his hand so that he must use complex rotation to find it. B, Prior to using the in-hand manipulation skill of complex rotation, the child must use palm-to-finger translation to move the block toward the distal finger surface. In that process the block begins to be turned. C, Having identified the correct side, the child shifts the object out to the pads of the fingers prior to placement with the other blocks.
Intervention Strategies
Children with Severe Disabilities
FIGURE 10-24 A, This child shows the bilateral skill of stabilizing with a refined grasp with her left hand while placing a penny in the bank with her right hand. Note the appropriate use of force in holding both objects. B, Bilateral manipulation occurs with both hands in this construction activity. The child uses modifications of the power grasp with different forearm positions on the right and left while connecting two parts of the toy.

FIGURE 11-2 Tactile sensations play a critical role in generating feelings of security and comfort in the infant and are influential in emotional development and social relationships throughout the lifespan.
First 6 Months
FIGURE 11-3 Strong inner drive to master gravity is evident in this infant’s efforts to lift his head and shoulders off the floor. This is an early form of the prone extension posture.
Second 6 Months
FIGURE 11-4 Because somatosensory processing and visual-motor coordination strongly influence self-feeding skills, sensory integration is an important contributor to the development of dining, a fundamental occupation.
Second Year
FIGURE 11-5 As motor planning develops during the second year of life, the infant experiments with a variety of body movements and learns how to transition easily from one position to another. These experiences are thought to reflect the development of body scheme.
Third through Seventh Years
FIGURE 11-6 Adaptive responses involved in this activity require precise tactile feedback and sophisticated praxis. During activities such as this one, the preschooler becomes adept at handling tools and objects that are encountered in daily occupations throughout life.
FIGURE 11-7 By the time a child reaches school age, sensory integrative capacities are almost mature. The child now can devote full attention to the demands of academic tasks because basic sensorimotor functions, such as maintaining an upright posture and guiding hand movements while holding a tool, have become automatic.

Posture and Movement Patterns
Therapeutic Positioning
FIGURE 22-10 Continuously restless infant (1000 grams, small for gestational age) unable to settle in cloth bunting. She relaxed and fell asleep in minutes after being positioned on a Z-Flo full-body positioner with a smaller Z-Flo pad used as a prone roll.
FIGURE 22-11 Hypotonic posture of premature infant. Without therapeutic positioning, “W” configuration of arms, “frogged” posture of legs, and asymmetrical head position may lead to positional deformities.
Range of Motion
FIGURE 22-12 Illustrated developmental cause and consequences lack of therapeutic positioning and subsequent positional deformities in the NICU population. Hospital-acquired positional deformities are largely avoidable with good positioning. References can be found on the Sundance Solutions website listed in the credit.
FIGURE 22-13 A, Blanket rolls are often too shallow and too wide to provide secure boundaries and postural support. B, Commercial positioning devices such as the Snuggle-Up. (Children’s Medical Ventures) made positioning easier; this small preterm infant is supported in sidelying position with midline orientation and flexion of extremities.

A Word about Breastfeeding
Bottle Feeding
Non-nutritive Sucking
FIGURE 22-14 A, NICU infant in drug withdrawal needing firm circumferential boundaries. The Z-Flo tube’s elasticized Velcro closure and the adjustable cross strap maintain the integrity of the positioner, while Z-Flo’s fluidized properties allow the infant to move within the boundaries. His peripheral intravenous line and feeding tube are easily accommodated. B, Complex positioning on Z-Flo for a critically ill infant with a genetic syndrome including a short proximal esophageal atresia and a hypoplastic diaphragm. He has a gastrostomy tube; the large oral tube is hooked to wall suction for drainage of secretions, with variable effectiveness. The infant required frequent deep manual suctioning and was often extremely agitated with significant oxygen desaturations. Positioning increased calming and sleep, facilitated correct placement of the oral tube with more effective suctioning and less aversive vagal response from the infant, reduced the need for manual suctioning, and delayed intubation. An esophagostomy (spit fistula) was surgically placed the next week.
Nutritive Sucking Patterns
FIGURE 22-15 Newborn infant with congenital muscular dystrophy, a right humeral fracture, and obvious hand deformities. Bilateral soft splints (fabricated from foam pencil grips, small Velfoam straps, and Velcro) had no pressure points. Movement was not restricted; corrected alignment actually increased the infant’s active movement.
FIGURE 22-16 A, Preterm infant with transitional sucking pattern is fed in modified side-lying (breast-feeding) position. B, Infant’s feeding is externally paced as the caregiver tips the bottle to force a breathing break.
