Coordination

Poor coordination is commonly seen in those people who are affected by, Dyspraxia but is also associated with other learning and attention difficulties. This condition causes difficulties in peoples’ abilities to coordinate gross and fine motor skills in the brain.

Gross motor skills are essential for controlling; balance, posture, and limb coordination. Fine motor skills are needed to perform precise movements such as fastening buttons, tying laces or writing with a pen. Therefore those affected by poor coordination are also likely to show signs of clumsiness and poor spatial awareness. These symptoms often cause problems in sporting ability because the cerebellum is unable to coordinate physical movement. This makes ball handling skills such as, throwing, catching and kicking a ball very difficult.

Many people who go through the Dore Programme see vast improvements in their coordination: stimulating the neural pathways in the cerebellum significantly enhances sporting abilities because the skills needed to control physical movement are strengthened as the cerebellum develops.
