Motor Planning
Motor planning is the process of organizing and coordinating the movements needed to perform a specific task. It involves the brain's ability to create a plan for movement, which includes deciding how to position the body, what muscles to use, and the timing of each action. This skill is essential for everyday activities, such as writing, typing, or playing sports.
Effective motor planning relies on sensory feedback and prior experiences to refine movements. It helps individuals learn new skills and adapt to different environments. Challenges in motor planning can affect activities like dressing, eating, or playing games, making it important for overall development and daily functioning.
