Tumble Forms 4
Pediatric Tumble Forms
Tumble Forms | Purpose |
---|---|
Thera- Wedge System | Designed to be used w/older child or young adult. Can help appropriate body position, while allowing desired maintenace of positioning. |
Thera- Wedge System: Head/neck flexion | Position in supine on a smaller inverted wedge. |
Thera- Wedge System: LE ROM | Use lg. wedge 2 support LE's. This positioning helps decrease extensor tone in supine/reduce lordotic curve while ranging arms. |
Thera-Wedge System: UE WB-Position in prone on lg or sm wedge to encourage | WB on elbows or extended arms. |
Thera-Wedge System: UE WB-Position in prone on lg or sm wedge to encourage | Development of unilateral WB while requiring one arm reaching. |
Thera-Wedge System: UE WB-Position in prone on lg or sm wedge to encourage | Working height of prone wedge position is 12". |
Thera- Wedge System: abduction at hips/hip & knee extension- | Position in prone using straps and abductor wedge. The mild drop-off ledge shape helps 2 relax mild hip flexion contractures. Wedge postioning just below pelvic crest encourages contractures 2 elongate during 15 min periods. Effective wedge height =10" |
Thera- Wedge System: sitting balance | Increased hip flexion gained by seating on end of 17" wedge. This decreases extensor tone and lordotic curve thus controlling lower body while head/trunk control acts are performed |
Grasshopper | Mobile positioning system consists of over 15 different shapes/forms. |
Grasshopper: Padded Coaster base | When child is positioned on Coaster base, it allows for ease in changing location while aintaining adaptive support. |
Grasshopper: Log/Base | By attaching log/base, it becomes an active therapeutic treatment sustem for vestibular stimulation acts. |
Grasshopper: Vestibular Stimulation- | Can be used to elicit an adaptive protective or equilibruim response |
Grasshopper: Vestibular Stimulation- | Can be used to effect a change in muscle tone w/out requiring an adaptive response. |
Grasshopper: Prone/Supine Positioning- | Can be used to develop improved head control. |
Grasshopper: Prone/Supine Positioning- | Can be used to help improve shoulder girdle stability |
Grasshopper: Prone/Supine Positioning- | Can be used to help prevent contractures and deformities in LE's by facilitating hip extension, abduction and external rotation, knee extension and ankle dorsiflexion. |
Grasshopper: Side Lying Positioning | Enables ability to achieve a beginning midline control, that's important motorically, cognitively and perceptually. Facilitates eye-hand coordination as child visually monitors their arm/hand movements. |
Grasshopper: Sitting Positions | (I) sitting enables child to engage in range of acts involving varying degrees of eye-hand coordination while upright. Both roll/long leg sitting can be used to maintain or increase ROM. |
