Rational and Purpose of Treatment Program: The purpose of this treatment program is to
build fine motor skills in clients with disabilities that affect their hands. This treatment program
will help strengthen the muscles of the hands with continued sessions.
Staff Requirements/Competence: A CTRS is required in order for this activity to take place. If
there is a CTRS assistant, intern, or volunteer who would like to direct this activity they must be
in accompany of a CTRS during the activity. The facilitator must be able to work with their
hands without minimal assistance and they need to be able to work with small
numbers/calculations. In addition, the facilitator must also be comfortable working with clients
one on one and have patience.
Entrance Criteria / Diagnosis and systems to be treated: In order for a client to receive this
type of treatment, they must have one of the following or similar: spinal cord
injury(quadriplegic), loss or damage of limbs (hands), cerebral palsy, and Parkinsons disease.
These disabilities are recommended for treatment because the hands are affected by each one of
these disabilities and requires muscle strengthening in order to participate in leisure and daily
activities without pain or limitations.
Exit Criteria: At the end of the treatment, the client should be able to move the hands more
efficiently, have improved fine motor skills, and more strength in the hands (including the
fingers).
Safety Considerations: The room being used during this activity will be a small classroom,
clients room, or a small room reserved for the duration of the session. There will be a table
placed in the middle of the room with two chairs on the opposite side of each other. The table
will be placed in the middle of the room in order to provide enough space for the facilitator and
the client to evacuate in the case of an emergency. Also, the room will be well-lit, so that the
client nor the facilitator will have to strain their eyes.
Client Risks: There may be emotional risks during this treatment if the client becomes frustrated
about not being able to complete this activity in one session or over multiple sessions. There may
also be physical risks to the hands due to the intensity of this activity. The client may feel
physically uncomfortable trying to adjust to the constant movement of their hand muscles.
Environmental Risks: There are minimal environmental risks during this activity. The activity
will be held in a closed room setting in order to provide privacy to the client.
