Abstract
The Ludic Table is a tool for rehabilitation and development of the amplitude of movements of the upper limbs. Through it, shoulder and elbow movements are proposed because of the user’s touch on their segments. One or more tables can be combined in order to allow spatial movements; however, such association may incur in altering the rehabilitation effects. In order to understand whether different dispositions of the Ludic Tables can influence the movements of the upper limbs, three different organizations were analyzed using mathematical methods, extracting, from a set of 50 simulated anthropometric data, the amplitude of flexion and elbow extension, flexion, extension, adduction and abduction of the shoulder in each segment of the tables. Such analysis allowed to observe that the organization of the Ludic Tables has a direct effect on the groups of movements and on the methodology to be worked on by the physiotherapist. It was concluded that layout with axis of Ludic Tables aligned to the subject’s shoulder allow lateralizing the movements and privilege the work of shoulder abduction and elbow extension. Centralized formations, however, allow for a more equal distribution of movements and allow the development of the amplitude and opening of movements.
