Drinking plenty of water is part of my daily routine. The starting position is with my arm straight with my elbow extended and ending with elbow flexion to bring the cup to my mouth. For the elbow joint, the plane of motion is sagittal plane and the axis of rotation is frontal axis. For the shoulder joint, the plane of motion is the sagittal plane and the axis of rotation is the frontal axis. For the elbow joint, the osteokinematic movement is flexion. When I bring the glass of water to my mouth, I have to flex at the elbow joint to do so. The angle between my humerus and radius decreases. The arthrokinematic movement at the elbow joint is rolling and gliding. The more stable humerus rolls and glides on the less stable ulna in the same direction to produce the movement. The prime movers to bring a glass of water to my mouth are the biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and brachialis. These three muscles produce a concentric contraction in order to flex the elbow joint.

If the client does not feel like the intervention is meaningful to them, they will not be invested in it. I learned that it can sometimes be difficult to find something that relates to a client’s needs. It may require extra hours, consulting other therapists, thinking outside the box, and adapting an item to best fit each individual client.

Additionally, it allowed me to look at the whole client and what are their most important needs. For Maurice, he was afraid of becoming bored and lonely. I wanted to create something that was portable and could be kept with him at all times to prevent the feelings he was scared of. The Legen-Dairy Notebook incorp...
