Example of

Activity

Analysis

Activity: Collect water from

well and carry water on head in

bucket

Occupational Area:

  • (^) Work/Home Management/Also required for self care

Cont’d

  • (^) Time: Any time of the day but mostly in the morning
  • (^) Age appropriate: 8 yrs and above but in the village under 8 yrs can perform

Steps involved in activity:

  • (^) Collect empty bucket
  • (^) Walk to well carrying empty bucket in hand
  • (^) When at well, lower bucket to ground
  • (^) Stand next to well and fill jerry can inside well with water by manoeuvring rope attached to a can.

Cont’d

  • (^) Bend down to bucket
  • (^) Lift bucket with both hands in front of body and overhead
  • (^) Place bucket on head
  • (^) Once bucket stable, walk home with bucket resting on head

Performance skills required for this activity: Motor

  • (^) Independent mobility to walk to/from well
  • (^) Gross and fine motor movement to pick up and hold bucket, to manipulate rope attached to jerry can, and to empty jerry can
  • (^) Static and dynamic standing balance
  • (^) Endurance
  • (^) Strength

Cont’d Cognitive

  • (^) To recall where bucket is stored
  • (^) To recall location of well and problem solve how to get there from house
  • (^) To remember steps needed to complete activity
  • (^) To know when to stop filling the bucket
  • (^) Attention to task so they continue with it until bucket is full

Cont’d Perceptual

  • (^) Body awareness, proprioception and spatial relations: allows the person to place the bucket on their head without being able to see it

Grading the activity

  • (^) The activity demands could be reduced by
  • (^) Using a smaller bucket for someone who fatigues quickly or with poor concentration
  • (^) Resting the bucket on the edge of the well rather than the ground for someone

Cont’d

  • (^) Getting the water from the river rather

than a well, for someone with fine

motor difficulties (as they could then

use large upper limb movements to

collect water from river, rather than

have to manipulate rope)

Cont’d

  • (^) Someone who is neglecting to complete bilateral activities with the upper limb, but who has good bilateral upper limb function.
  • (^) Eg: after stroke, as this activity relies on both upper limbs and encourages sensory and perceptual awareness of the body
