@JenHolfinger miss you SO much!!! And I definitely need to hear more about your day 🤣😂

[Ally @allybates4]

@claire_horstman @danidoogie I agree that doing the AA via Twitter was harder than expected! Communication is key!!

[Ally @allybates4]

@allybates4 from the beginning, we thought any activity involving her great grandkids would be enjoyable & motivating for her! #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

I also didn't realize how many different aspects you must focus on when breaking down an activity-- all very important! #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

I learned a lot from the AA.. Mainly the importance of being client-centered & focusing on activities meaningful to the client #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

@jefskllr love the drawings Jeff! I agree with all of the movements that you say are occurring during this activity.

[Ally @allybates4]

@AmberKern24 @SarahCooperCSU I agree with both of you! Activity will def challenge her UE yet will provide her w/ a great sense of joy 😊

[Ally @allybates4]

@JenHolfinger sorry should've clarified that we are making an activity analysis based off of a case study we were assigned! #CSUGinny

“@JenHolfinger: Hey LMCOT friends - if you see this like her tweets and even respond! https://t.co/eDLpk4K54n” #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

Hey OT friend @JenHolfinger! Check out my group's case study for one of our grad school classes if you have time.. located under #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

Feel free to provide any input you have on my group's tweets! Thanks in advanced :) @JenHolfinger #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

When slightly flexing fingers to extend UE to reach for child, finger flexors are shortening & finger extensors are lengthening #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

When performing slight ulnar deviation to extend UE, ulnar wrist flexors are shortening & radial wrist flexors are lengthening #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

Since her forearms would be in neutral when extending UE to reach for child, muscles are stabilizing, not shortening/lengthening #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

When extending elbows to reach out to pick up child, her elbow extensors are shortening & elbow flexors are lengthening #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

For extending UE to pick up infant, her shoulder flexors would be shortening, while shoulder extensors would be lengthening #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

Assuming child Ginny is picking up is ~25 lbs, a muscle grade of at least 4 is needed to pull child towards body #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

Ginny would need at least a muscle grade of a 3+ (able to withstand minimal resistance) when extending UE. #CSUGinny

[Ally @allybates4]

@claire_horstman Yes sitting is definitely safer! This activity allows Ginny to work on her dynamic sitting balance.

[Ally @allybates4]

@AmberKern24 @SarahCooperCSU @jefskllr agreed. I don't think it'd be safe for her to do this activity standing-may cause her to lose balance
