What is Bilateral Coordination?

Bilateral coordination refers to the utilization of both the two sides of the body in a synchronized manner. It affects the activities that require balance, accuracy, and also timing.

Forms of Bilateral Coordination:

1. Bilateral movements: Doing both sides at the same time, for example, clapping hands.
2. Contralateral movements: Alternating sides, such as pedal-pedaling a bicycle.
3. Asymmetrical movements: Each side differently, as is used in cutting paper with scissors.

Generally, playing catch or crawling can be something more prominent. Drawing encourages bilateral coordination and readiness for other advanced physical tasks.
