Movement Analysis Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, you will have to perform a movement assessment/analysis. You will be assigned an activity/motion and will have to detail the following:
Muscle/Joint movements performed
Strength required to perform motion
The impact of physiological factors
Possible treatment interventions for clients affected by impairments
Please review the photo of your assigned activity (below) to gain an understanding of positioning, etc.
*INDICATE ONLY THE MOVEMENTS DEMONSTRATED IN THE IMAGE PROVIDED TO COMPLETE THE CHARTS.
Please see the chart below as to which movement you are assigned. Photos of each motion have been provided for your review:
If your last name begins with
Your assigned movement/motion is.
S-Z
Hitting a tennis ball
N-R
Pushing up to stand from a chair
H-M
Performing a downward dog yoga pose
A-G
Donning a pullover shirt
Hitting a Tennis Ball
Pushing up from chair
Downward Dog Pose
Donning a pullover shirt
Please remember the following:
This assessment will be for the upper extremities only. ONLY INDICATE THE MOVEMENTS/MUSCLES/JOINTS THAT ARE USED IN THE STILL SHOT PICTURE PROVIDED (do not include movements or positions the person may have performed before or after what is seen in the photo). (While many of these activities may involve the entire body, it is not necessary to detail the lower body.)
You are encouraged to research the movement and/or perform it on your own to get a feel for how your arm moves to mimic the position in the photo. When doing so, be sure to pay close attention to the upper extremity, how it must move, and most importantly how impairments may affect the ability to perform the motion.
Please be as detailed as possible when completing the charts. You will be graded on both completeness and content. Answers such as N/A and to indicate the same as above will not be accepted.
This assignment is designed to be both comprehensive and interesting. It will take you some time to complete. Please dont wait until the last minute to complete the chart. Take your time and think about each section.
Be sure to utilize the following learning materials that are present in the module to complete the chart:
Muscle Reference Chart to identify which UE muscles would be utilized/affected by the movement. Do not simply copy/paste the entire chart; only certain movements of each body part (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) are needed to complete each activity. Points will be deducted for copying/pasting!
Areas of Measurement Chart – to indicate as to how you would measure progress week-to-week.
Module One videos.
Trail Guide to the Body and Early text readings.
Please explore intervention ideas/options in the Occupational Therapy TOOLKIT text required for this course.
You can also watch the following video on OT & Therapeutic Activities to gain some ideas for treatment interventions. Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLIGzCFh-eg
Be sure to carefully read the instructions in the last chart; when developing treatment ideas, make sure that they are OCCUPATION-BASED.
Submit the completed assignment to the dropbox by the indicated due date/time.
