Developing Motor Skills and Body Awareness

Body Schema and Dynamic Coordination

Structuring the body schema involves general dynamic segmental coordination. Key aspects include:

  • Use and control of the body at rest and in motion.
  • Implementation of tonic control and respiratory motor control.
  • Adaptation of body position to expressive needs and drivers in an economic and balanced way.
  • Appropriate use of selective discrimination of stimuli and perceptual anticipation.
  • Execution of movements with non-dominant body segments.
  • Static and dynamic balance
