Intrinsic Hand Muscle Strengthening for Developmental Coordination Disorder- A Case Study

Abstract

Children’s with Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) have defect  in executing fine motor skills and writing is considered to be a real life challenge for these children with motor coordination defect. Rehabilitating the intrinsic muscles of hand is a real challenge for the therapist. Visual perception is a pre-requisite skill to achieve in the rehabilitative process. We propose a spiral steel wrist-hand muscle exerciser and finger grip exerciser in achieving goals in strengthening the intrinsic hand muscle of children with DCD.
