: Introduction: In racket sports, it is necessary to devise a gripping method that facilitates both the efficient transmission of power and injury prevention. This study quantified grip pressure distribution (PD) in the hand using various gripping methods and investigated the relationship between these distributions and muscle activation. Methods : In a laboratory setting, a grip sensor was used to measure hand PD in 15 healthy adults during each task. Participants gripped the sensor device using three grip patterns with simultaneous electromyography (EMG) recordings from the extensor digitorum communis (EDC), extensor carpi radialis, flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU). The device’s hand-contact area was assigned anatomical regions, and the percentage PD of each region was calculated for each task. We compared the EMG in each grip pattern and analyzed the correlation between grip force and EMG. Results : The main outcomes measured were EMG and PD. For radial and power grips, there was a significant relation ship between EDC and grip force (r = 0.52, 0.47). For the ulnar grip, there was a significant relationship between FDS and grip force (r = 0.55). Furthermore, the ulnar grip’s EDC activity was significantly lower than that of the power grip, and FCU activity was significantly higher than that of the radial grip (p < 0.05). Discussion : The ulnar grip had significantly lower EDC activity than the power grip and higher FCU activity, which is involved in the elbow joint’s stability, than the radial grip. The ulnar grip may be effective in preventing injuries. (

: Introduction: Functional use of a paralyzed upper extremity in patients with hemiparesis after stroke depends on the specificity of the task. Further, task specificity-dependent upper extremity use is an important factor in the recovery of upper extremity function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a perceptive exploration activity in consideration of the specificity of the task for Japanese male patient in his 70s and monitor its effect on spoon manipulation using the affected arm. Methods: A single-subject research design was implemented in the ABAB trial. The facilitation of selective movement of the paralyzed upper extremity and self-care skill training were provided during baseline A and A’ as occupational therapy (OT). In addition to the OT, 10 minutes of perceptive exploration activity was added during the interventions B and B’. The required time (RT) and number of errors (NOE) in task performance were monitored as the outcome of the therapeutic effect. Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) were also adopted to evaluate individual goals and changes in upper extremity function. Results: RT and NOE in task performance were decreased with interventions B and B’ compared to baselines A and A’. GAS score improved in interventions B and B’, and FMA showed a gradual improvement within each phase. Conclusion: Spoon manipulation using the paralyzed upper extremity with sensory disturbance was improved by perceptive exploration activity. Current therapy suggests that perceptive exploration activity may be effective in improving movement skills in the manipulation of tools.

Background and Purpose: In patients with stroke, predictors of the use of paralyzed upper limbs in each activity of daily life, including eating and toileting, are not clear. Therefore, we aimed to identify factors that predict the use of paralyzed upper limbs in specific activities of daily life in patients with acute stroke. Method: This prospective observational study enrolled 155 patients with acute stroke. We used the paralytic arm participation measure (PPM) to evaluate the use of the paralyzed upper limb in daily life. Eating and toileting were assessed at admission and discharge. Factors that predicted the use of the paralyzed upper limb at discharge were analyzed by binomial logistic regression analysis. Results: The predictors of the use of paralyzed upper limbs for eating at discharge were age [odds ratio (OR)=0.93, p=.011], paralysis of the dominant hand (OR=3.75, p=.044), and motor function of the paralyzed upper limb (OR=2.16, p<.001). For toileting, the predictors were motor function of the paralyzed upper limb (OR=1.75, p<.001), sensory function of the paralyzed upper limb (OR=1.66, p=.004), and muscle strength of the quadriceps on the non-paralyzed side (OR=3.65, p=.005). Conclusion: These identified predictors may provide clues to interventions promoting the use of paralyzed upper limbs in the daily life of hospitalized patients with acute stroke. Observation and evaluation of each activity by an occupational therapist using the PPM is potentially useful in encouraging patients to consciously use the paralyzed upper limbs in

: Children’s ability to adequately process sensory information from their environments contribute to the devel opment of self-regulation. The increasing prevalence of sensory processing difficulties in both clinical and normative childhood population underscores the need for assessment. However, in the Philippine context, there is no cross-culturally validated tool that measures sensory processing and self-regulation among children. Both language equiva lency and cultural-relevance should be addressed when translating health-related outcomes. In this study, the accuracy of linguistic equivalency and cultural relevance of the Tagalog version of the Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation Checklist (SPSRC) was validated. Using a multi-step process of forward translation, equivalence of translation testing, backward translation, face, and content validation, and cross-cultural adaptation inquiry, the SPSRC-Tagalog was ex -amined. Adaptation of colloquial English terms was incorporated, and several items whose examples were deemed not culturally relevant were modified to reflect the language and culture it is intended for. The findings in this study support the linguistic equivalency and cultural-relevance of the SPSRC-Tagalog as a single measure of sensory processing and self-regulation abilities of Tagalog-speaking Filipino children that can be used by Filipino occupational therapists. Future studies should further examine its psychometric properties in the target population.
