Decrease Right 5th Finger PIP Case Study
Problem #2
Decrease grip, grasp, coordination. Decrease right 5th finger PIP, DIP. Decrease handwriting/keyboarding skills.
Long term goal
Patient will demonstrate ability to increase pinch, grasp and fine motor coordination of the right hand independently within normal limit to perform ADL within 4 weeks.
Short term goal #1
Patient will demonstrate ability to increase pinch, grasp, and fine motor coordination of the right hand with supervision to perform handwriting and keyboarding skills within 2 weeks.
Activity #1
The patient will be standing to perform this task. The patient will take different colors of clothespins by trying to open and clip them into a metal stick by using lateral, 3- jaw chuck, tip to tip pinch, thumb opposition, and endurance. Once the patient is done clipping the pins on the metal stick, she is responsible of taking them from the metal to put into the basket. For precaution, the patient will take a 3 minute rest break while performing the activity to avoid fatigue. The patient will start with the yellow pin then progress to the green. The patient will perform this activity for 10-15 minutes.
Rationale
The patient will be using lateral, 3- jaw chuck, tip to tip pinch, thumb opposition, endurance, and crossing midline to promote function in the right hand for typing and writing. This activity will increase strength in …show more content…
Based on the AJOT article Fine Motor Outcomes in Preschool Children Who Receive Occupational Therapy Services shows how important is it to attend therapy when an individual has a delay or a physical dysfunction that intervene with his or her role in life. Twenty six students were tested and they showed an increase amount of improvement in fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and grasping strength when performing their self-care (AJOT,
