DANGEROUS OBJECTS OR SHARP CORNERS IN BIRILLO'S RANGE OF

As described above, Birillo can be a valid tool for exercising several functions; in this section, we will
illustrate several activities that can be performed in the gym or at home.
GRASPING AN OBJECT PLACED
IN FRONT
This exercise involves control of the
flexion-extension of the trunk
The child must grasp a fixed or moving
object placed in the centre of his visual field
GRASPING A FIXED OR MOVING OBJECT
LOCATED TO THE SIDE
This exercise, which involves rotating the trunk
and head, benefits the dissociation between the
shoulder and pelvic girdles and the bilateral
coordination of the upper limbs.
The child must visually locate an object
located on the right or left periphery of his
visual field and grasp the object with his
parallel hands
