Study Notes

Grasp Patterns

  • Power grips involve the use of the entire hand, with the thumb held flexed or abducted to the other fingers, and are used when strength is needed.
  • Examples of power grips include spherical, cylindrical, and disk grasps.

Types of Grasps

  • Cylindrical grasp: entire palmar surface of the hand grasping around a cylindrical-shaped object, involving finger flexors, intrinsic muscles, and thumb flexors and abductors.
  • Spherical grasp: significant wrist extension, finger abduction, and flexion of MCP and IP joints along with stability of the longitudinal arch.
  • Disk grasp: graded finger abduction according to the size of the object, along with hyperextension of the MCP joints and flexion of the IP joints.
  • Hook grasp: gripping like a hook formed by flexed fingers without thumb involvement, generally static for a period of time.
  • Three-jaw chuck grasp: opposition of the thumb simultaneously to index and middle fingers.
  • Tip pinch: opposition of the thumb tip and the tip of the index finger, used to obtain very small objects, with dissociation of the two sides of the hand.
  • Pincer grasp: opposition of the thumb to the index finger, allowing control of objects with radial finger pads while controlling thumb opposition.
  • Lateral pinch: used to exert power on or with a small object, involving controlling the index finger while adducting and flexing the thumb.

Developmental Milestones for Grasp Patterns

  • 10 weeks gestation to 6 months: palmar grasp (reflex)
  • 6 months: radial palmar grasp
  • 6 to 9 months: grasp patterns with active thumb use
  • 7 months: crude raking
  • 8 to 9 months: radial digital grasp
  • 9 to 12 months: thumb/finger pad refinement
  • 12 to 15 months: increased control of intrinsic muscles
  • 18 months to 3 years: disk, cylindrical, and spherical grasp
  • 3 to 5 years: power grasps

Voluntary Release

  • Voluntary release: intentional letting go of a handheld object at a specific time and place
  • 6 to 7 months: child initially stabilizes on surface
  • 1 year: release pattern is refined, child learns to modulate force and demonstrate stacking

Finger-to-Palm and Palm-to-Finger Translation

  • Finger-to-palm translation: grasping the object with the pads of the fingers and thumb and moving it into the palm
  • Palm-to-finger translation: reverse of finger-to-palm translation, requires isolated control of the thumb and use of a pattern beginning with finger flexion and moving towards extension
  • Finger-to-palm translation develops by 12 to 15 months of age
  • Palm-to-finger translation develops by 2 to 2.5 years with simple rotation

Shifting, Rotation, and Bilateral Hand Skills

  • Shifting: involves linear movement of the object of the finger surface to allow for repositioning of the object, used for separating two pieces of paper, buttoning, etc.
  • Shifting is inconsistently used by 3 to 3.5 years
  • Simple rotation: involves turning or rolling an object held at the finger pads approximately 90 degrees or less
  • Complex rotation: involves the rotation of an object 180 to 360 degrees once or repetitively
  • Bilateral hand skills:
    • 6 to 12 months: holds or carries large ball with two hands
    • 3 to 5 years: stabilizes paper during coloring or writing, holds paper during scissor use
    • 6+ years: manipulates paper during scissor use

Tool Use and Reach

  • Tool use:
    • 6 to 12 months: scribbles with marker
    • 1 to 2 years: copies appropriate forms
    • 3 years: uses scissors to cut lines
    • 4 years: uses scissors to cut simple shapes
    • 6+ years: uses scissors to cut complex shapes
  • Reach:
    • 6 to 12 months: moves both arms in full range of motion, reaches to midline, extends elbow
    • 1 to 2 years: reaches across midline
