Fine Motor Skills involve the use of precise and coordinated movements of the fingers to perform hand use tasks. Fine motor skills are necessary for completing daily tasks such as dressing (using buttons/zippers), feeding (using mealtime utensils), being a student (using a pencil, keyboard, or scissors), and leisure/play activities (drawing, playing many musical instruments).
In-Hand Manipulation is the ability to adjust and position objects around in your hand, without assistance from the other hand. There are 5 basic components to in-hand manipulation that the resources will address : (1) finger-to- palm translation, (2) palm-to-finger translation, (3) shift, (4) simple rotation, and (5) complex rotation. Often a child that lacks in-hand manipulation will awkwardly manipulate objects within their hand/fingers and will use two hands during a unilateral task.
