Abstract
At a psycho-rehabilitation camp of the movement method, for the physically handicapped who had difficulty acquiring the cross-legged sitting position, we provided instructions on how to achieve this position. By clarifying the temporal relationship between the three types of movement based on analysis of movement shifts (posture evaluation of sitting position, knee standing position, standing position, etc.) , we identified upper body development as a task for severe disabled people. The purpose was to examine the significance of learning support by way of the standing position. Our results indicated that the chest was straightened in the posture holding position, the position of the center of gravity grew stable at the center, and it became possible for the individual to hold the position. Finally, holding the knee standing position and standing position, it was found that the upper body was not twisted and the position of the center of gravity was stabilized at the center. In addition, achievement of the standing position, which is a developmental upper-level task, led to improvement in the behavior of all learning tasks, suggesting that the scope of learning support for the target people was broadened.
