Motor planning
Motor planning is like when you want to build a tower out of blocks. First, you need to plan in your mind how you will build it. You will think about how many blocks you will need, which blocks to put where, and how to stack them up. This process of thinking and planning is called motor planning.
Then, you will use your hands and fingers to pick up the blocks and put them on top of each other, following the plan you made in your mind. This is where motor execution comes in.
Motor planning is important because it helps us to move our bodies in a coordinated and efficient way. It helps us to do things like tying our shoes, riding a bike, or playing sports.
Sometimes, people with motor planning difficulties might have trouble coordinating their movements, planning how to do a task, or knowing how much force to use when doing a task. But with practice and help from therapists, they can improve their motor planning skills and learn to do things more easily.
