Psychomotor Assessments
A psychomotor assessment combines case history, clinical observation, structured tasks and, when appropriate, standardized tools. The psychomotor therapist selects methods according to the person’s age, development, language and referral question, then provides feedback and recommendations.
Some interviews, follow-up meetings and guided activities may be completed online. Assessments that depend on standardized materials, direct motor observation or controlled administration are completed in person to protect the accuracy of the findings.
WHAT IS PSYCHOMOTOR THERAPY?
Psychomotor therapy lies under the paramedical field and aims to treat a variety of disorders and difficulties in all age groups that prevent a person from performing many tasks easily and independently.
It is based on both psychic and motor aspects. It focuses on eight psychomotor domains that are essential to the child development and that are divided into several important sub-domains like fine and gross motor skills, body unit, muscle tone, in addition to learning prerequisites such as attention, planning, problem-solving, and memory.
Through psychomotor therapy, children develop motor skills including the ability to move the whole body, to hold a pen or pencil correctly, and it improves their handwriting. The more the patient progresses through psychomotor therapy sessions, the more self-confidence and essential skills are improved.
Also, adults and the elderly benefit from psychomotor therapy sessions; they can develop a lot of cognitive and executive skills, especially in attention deficit cases, planning and mental flexibility problems, or mental health disorders. By working on cognitive functions, it can help patients being more attentive, being able to follow steps and strategies by themselves to achieve their goals and improve their memory. Moreover, patients with degenerative disorders, such as Parkinson, can benefit from gross motor skills and maintain balance improvement.
