‘Bilateral coordination’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

Bilateral coordination refers to the ability to use both sides of the body together in a coordinated manner. This skill is crucial for performing everyday tasks such as writing, cutting with scissors, tying shoelaces, and participating in sports. It involves integrating sensory information and motor skills to perform movements that require both sides of the body to work in harmony, whether they are mirroring each other or performing different actions simultaneously.

Developing bilateral coordination is especially important in early childhood, as it lays the foundation for more complex motor skills and activities. Activities that promote bilateral coordination include playing catch, riding a bicycle, and engaging in arts and crafts. For children experiencing difficulties, occupational therapy can provide targeted exercises and activities to enhance these skills.

Strong bilateral coordination supports overall physical development, enhances motor planning, and contributes to academic success by improving the ability to perform tasks that require fine motor skills, such as handwriting and using tools.
