The task I chose to analyze is the rotation of the wrist from side to side in order to arc a cane. In order to show a student the steps of rotating their wrist I would first pre-teach the student about the movement. This particular task is one in which you would employ hand over hand and/or hand under hand. The movement of the wrist is similar to knocking on a door. I would ask the student to show me if they know how to knock on a door. If they do not, I would have put their hand on top of mine to feel how I knock on a door. Once they have that movement down we would go through step by step process. Depending on the grip style the Orientation and Mobility specialist will be teaching I would try to help support that as well. For the sake of …show more content…
this analysis the grip will be one in which the student has their index finger pointing out along the cane grip. 1. First I would like you to make your right hand into a fist. Your fist should be all your fingers folded in to your palm while your thumb rests over top of them. I have made a fist with my right hand if you would like to feel how it should look. 2.
Now that your hand is in a fist could you stick out just your pointer finger. Nice job! 3. I would like you to do your best to keep your pointer finger parallel with the floor. This will help keep your cane going in the right direction. 4. Now I would like you to take your fist with your pointer finger pointing away from your body and place the other end of your first on your belly button. If you need to use your other hand to find the belly button first, then that is just fine. 5. Please make a first with you left hand for me. This left hand will not always be a fist when you are using your cane, but for right now it can be a helper hand. 6. After you have completed making your left hand into a fist I would like you to place this fist behind your right hands wrist. Okay it looks like you need some help do you mind if I use my hands to help move your hands? (In this instance I would need to use hand over hand if the child is comfortable with receiving help in that way). This is about the distance you will be swinging your cane out in front of your body from. It might help give your right hand a resting spot. (This would be faded away after they understand the body positioning as they will need their left hand free for
safety.) 7. Now that you right hand is in the right spot I would like you to pretend that your fist is going knock towards your left hip. Oh I’m sorry let me clarify that you still need to keep your fists near your belly button. I would just like you to pretend that your right first is knocking towards your left hip. 8. If you are having a hard time understanding the knocking motion you can use both your hands to feel my fist making the motion. Oh hey, it looks like you have down dude! Way to go Joe!
Yes, Reconstruction was doomed to fail. The first reason for this was that Lincoln started a plan or policy for Reconstruction before the Civil War was over (page 792 of our assigned readings). Lincoln said that "he intended to to deal with the defeated South "with malice toward none" and "charity for all" to "achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves (Page 792 of our assigned readings)."" The first problem with this thought is that who knows how the war would play out? Yes, Lincoln believed that this proposition would help end the war, but was that a good time to begin Reconstruction? Before the war even ended? Lincoln's plan eventually angered many Radical Republicans, and that is how the Wade-Davis Bill was introduced.

After I had carried out my checks, I met David as he was just being dropped off at the front doors of the centre. Before David got out of the taxi, I asked to him to unfold his cane so I could examine its stability; which was sturdy and reliable. I then helped him get out of the car and offered him a choice of mobility assistance. I could either arm-guided him, or adopted a technique I use with other visually-impaired service users which involves me clapping and them walking with their cane towards the noise. Due to David’s previously documented ...
Kinesiology can be defined as the study of mechanics of body movements, so I think that is very important to know the meaning of movement when studying kinesiology. Everything in kinesiology has to do with the movement. Every action the body takes is a movement which is what kinesiology is. You cannot be successful in the field of kinesiology no matter what you are doing if you do not understand what movement is. It is the study of human movement, performance, and function by applying the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience. It looks at movement and which muscles are involved to create movement relating to strength exercising and sports technique. Movement is an act of changing physical location or position or of

Interactive reasoning helps the practitioner get to know clients and form a relationship with them and their caregivers in order to form a therapeutic alliance and help the client succeed in therapy. Interactive reasoning explores the best approach to communicate with the client and engage him or her in occupational therapy. This method helps to individualize therapy based on the client’s circumstances and form trust and respect with the client. Learning how to implement this type of clinical reasoning will help the student recognize client needs and dispositions and alter their approach to meet those needs (Lyons, 2001).
• If you have trouble walking or keeping your balance, try using a cane for stability. Sit down right away if you feel dizzy or unstable.
My understanding of kinesiology prior to enrolling in the course, is that I knew kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement , and that it involved sports and exercise and physical activity.I 'm interested in kinesiology , because I love anything that has to do with sports, and to get more of a detailed report on how human movement plays such a big role in the sports world.I have played sports for most of my life my interests our football, basketball,baseball.I started football my eighth grade year, and continued to play threw high school, until I tore my meniscus and mcl so I skipped my junior year of football , and came back my senior year had a really great season started at right offensive tackle.Missing my junior year in football really took a toll on me ,I could have gained so much more experience playing if so. I 've played basketball probably since the third grade , and continued to play threw high school even threw my knee injury ,I played travel basketball as well a

I think it is different when practicing on a manikin versus actually doing it in real life. My instructor was able to give me some great feedback, as well as helpful tips that I will be able to apply during my next clinical rotation.
In a pediatric rehabilitation center, I hope to have an opportunity to work with even younger kids. Specifically though, I might get the opportunity to work with a young child around two to three years of age that had a birth defect. This specific birth defect affected his right arm and is stuck to the right side of his body, and he has a hard time reaching out, using that arm when needed. This is a very important motor skill for the child to learn because he will eventually need to use that arm to write, put on clothes, or transport items. This child in particular or a group
For this assignment I had to observe a child between the age range of 0-6 for an hour and half to note their motor and physical development. Before I go in to detail about my observations of the child I must first define what motor and physical development means. Motor development can be broken down into two subcategories. One subcategory would be the gross motor skills development that use large muscle groups to complete task. Then there is the second subcategory deals with, “ Skills that involve large-muscle activities”.( Santrock, J. (2015). Children (13th ed.). Madison, Wis.: Brown & Benchmark. ) The second subcategory would be fine motor skills that, “ involve finely tuned movements” and it known as fine motor skills. Fine motor skills
This position works as follows: If the left foot is in front the right arm should be raised. There is a similarity between this position and the fourth position. In the fourth position either the left or the right arm is raised as the other arm is brought forward with the arm slightly rounded. It also works opposite depending on which foot is placed in front. The fifth position is both of the arms raised over the head and is to be kept in the phariphral vision of the
