the beanbags.
Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to work
on strengthening of hand muscles and increase range of motion of the upper
extremity specifically the individual’s wrist. The sticker on each of the
beanbags is used in order to ensure that the individual actually flipped each
of the beanbags. Grasp is exercised in the grasp of the spatula while flipping.
Ability to follow directions and completion of a task is also emphasized in
this type of exercise in order to increase self-esteem and attention.
