The face conveys our conscious and subconscious emotions and projects vulnerability in disfigurement. Functionally, the face encompasses the muscles that surround our eyes, nose and mouth, contributing to the sphincters and dilators that allow the fine motor control of our eyelids, nostrils and lips, respectively. The face forms the anterior part of the head medial to the ears and between the hairline superiorly and the chin inferiorly. It comprises everything that lies between what is visible anteriorly and laterally. The face consists of four recognisable tissue planes – skin, a subcutaneous layer of fibroadipose tissue (held responsible for some of the changes of the ageing face), the superficial muscular aponeurotic system and the parotidomasseteric fascia. The scalp forms the soft tissue envelope of the cranial vault. The triad it forms with the forehead anteriorly and the temporal regions laterally should be considered as a continuum rather than three separate entities.

Tests of kindergarten to Grade 3 students' ability to copy upper- and lower-case primary print letters showed that lower-case letters are more difficult to print. Within upper- and lower-case formats, the letters vary considerably in difficulty as a function of their composition and/or the degree of fine motor control required. Factor analyses, based upon separate intercorrelations for upper- and lower-case letters, produced 7 factors for each type of letter. Although some of the factors tended to contain letters with similar characteristics, no obvious rationale explaining the factor pattern could be developed.

<p class="0abstract">This work details developments made in a system for hand rehabilitation, that aims to improve recovery of fine motor control, mostly for those recovering from stroke. The system consists of an instrumented device that is used to interact with a variety of games designed to improve fine motor control, enhancing rehabilitation practices. These games were tested with actual disabled individuals and therapists, having received overall positive feedback.</p>

OBJECTIVE: To compare visual function and fine-motor control of full-term infants small-for-gestational age (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA), in the first three months. METHOD: We evaluated prospectively 31 infants in the 1st month; 33 in the 2nd and 34 infants in the 3rd month, categorized as full-term; birth weight less than 10th percentile for SGA and 25th to 90th percentile for the AGA group. Genetic syndromes, infections, multiple congenital malformations were excluded. The Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II were used, especially items related to visual function and to fine-motor control outcomes. RESULTS: The Motor Index Score (IS) was significantly lower in the SGA group in the 2nd month. The items "attempts to bring hands to mouth", in the 1st month and "reaches for suspended ring", in the 3rd month showed higher frequency in the SGA group. CONCLUSION: The Motor IS was lower in the 2nd month and items of fine-motor control in the 1st month and in the 3rd month showed higher frequency in the SGA group.
