Motor skills are more than just movement; they are a fundamental expression of life itself. Therefore, they also serve as a sensitive seismograph for potential disturbances: the spectrum ranges from psychomotor abnormalities in posture and movement to phenomena of restlessness and stereotypical behaviors, as well as severe physical disabilities. The book thoroughly presents the foundations of human movement, describes the various manifestations of motor disabilities, and illustrates practical educational questions with relevant examples. It thus enables a more precise perception of the significance of motor behavior, helps to identify risks and stress factors, and allows for better responses to children and adolescents with motor abnormalities and disabilities. In addition to discussing diagnostic possibilities, the book offers a wealth of practical suggestions.
