1. Cup to shelf |
Correct |
Use normal movement patterns. |
|
Compensatory |

|
|
Incomplete |

Dysmetria (toward affected side) yields inability to grasp cup;
Grasp completed but unable to lift cup from table;
Grasped, cup lifted from table, unable to reach to shelf;
Grasped, cup lifted from table, drops cup before reaching shelf;
Grasped, lifted and reached top of shelf, unable to release grip from cup, bring cup back to start position and release using non-tested hand.

Forward flexion of trunk with lift of cup;
Trunk extension with lift of cup;
Trunk lateral lean (away from affected side) with lift of cup;
Forward neck flexion when lifting cup to mouth;

|
Incomplete |
Cannot grasp due to weakness;
Too forceful of grasp yields inability to grasp cup;
Dysmetria (alternating too far/too close) yields inability to grasp cup;
Dysmetria (toward affected side) yields inability to grasp cup;

3. Tong use |
Correct |
Use normal movement patterns. |
|
Compensatory |

Excessive scapular/shoulder retraction with lift/transfer of block;
Forward trunk flexion with reach/lift of tongs/transfer of block;
Trunk lateral lean (away from tested side) with reach/lift/transfer of block;
Task performed with slowed speed;
Sliding arm or hand across table to reach tongs, block, or targets.
|
|
Incomplete |
Cannot grasp tongs due to weakness;
Dysmetria (too close) yields inability to pick up block;
Dysmetria (toward affected side) yields inability to pick up block;
Grasped tongs, picked up block, unable to reach target #2, tongs and block returned to target #1;
Grasped tongs, lifted block and reached to target #2, unable to release block, block returned to target #1 and removed from tongs with non-tested hand;
