What is meant by gentle motor activities?
Gentle motor activities refer to pursuits that engage movement without strenuous effort: handling small objects, writing, drawing, gardening in a comfortable position, or moving along to music.
What are the benefits at home?
At home, these activities integrate into daily life within familiar surroundings. They offer moments of chosen, rewarding engagement, and can foster communication and social connection.
What precautions should be taken?
- Follow the guidance given by the doctor and rehabilitation therapists.
- Take into account fluctuations throughout the day and fatigue.
- Ensure a safe environment to minimise the risk of falls.
- Never force a movement.
Rehabilitation as such remains the responsibility of qualified healthcare professionals.
