運動の発達には粗大運動と微細運動の二種類があります。粗大運動は、手や足をばたばたさせたり、寝返りをうつなど、腕や足、胴の総合的な動きをいいます。一方、微細運動は、物をつまんだりひっぱったりする、手指の巧みな動きをいいます。「風船で遊ぶ」ことを通して、風船をキャッチしたり、手から手へと移動させたりすることは、空間関係を知ったり平均感覚の機能練習にも役立ちます。
Gross motor skills are not only essential for moving around
and playing; they are also crucial for fine motor development. Our control over
our whole body impacts the way our hands function. We need a stable base from
which our arms and hands can operate. Our trunks need to be strong and stable
to hold us up. We need to be able to turn and rotate our bodies to reach for
objects in all directions and to cross the midline. We need shoulder, elbow and
wrist stability. All these gross motor skills help us hold and maintain our
grasp on objects, to be able to move objects and to get our hands in exactly
the right position to manipulate and move efficiently.
