Motor Skills

Gross and fine motor skills refer to the abilities required in order to control both the large and small muscles of the body. This enables movement through your environment by running, walking, sitting, crawling; and interacting with the environment through smaller movements such as dressing, writing, and grasping.

Benefits of Gross and Fine Motor Skills Sensory Equipment

For people with physical difficulties, including conditions such as cerebral palsy; physical therapy is hugely important for helping with the development of gross motor skills. Depending on the needs and abilities of your users, an interactive sensory room can provide highly motivating sensory rewards for engaging in physical therapy; encouraging the use of the body, hands and fingers.

Immersive rooms with touch sensitive wall and floor projections in particular, can encourage full body interaction with the scenario and lesson. A sensory hydrotherapy pool can help develop gross motor skills, whilst being easier on the joints and at the same time helping to strengthen muscles. Sensory equipment including switches, buttons, and touch boards encourage the use of fine motor skills.
