The CONTRALATERAL pattern of movement

  • Opposition of limbs
  • Finding diagonals through the centre
  • Body in 4 quadrants
  • Spiral in our movement
  • Mainly in mammals- fish and lizards a little
  • Mammals have a different muscular skeletal organisation, so the belly is more easily off the floor
  • All senses are fully operational
  • Vocal communication- free head and neck
  • Eyes and ears fully engaged with the world
  • Reaching for objects for a baby encourages motion and vocals into the environment
  • Babies turn towards sound, and go backward in space to do so sometimes
