Popis: Embryogenesis and body are closely related with locomotor movements in ontogenetic evolution. Newborn babies initially have very disorderly movement reflexes. As children grow and develop, their sense of balance as well as their ability to control their body and its segments also develop. The position of the head in relation to the position of the body, and the relationship of the body with the environment play an important role in balance and coordination. Cerebral paralysis is a general term for a group of chronic diseases that specifically affect control over the movements of the body and its segments. Abnormal development or damage to the motor areas in the brain after hypoxia destroys the brain's ability to control and coordinate movements and body posture. Body Balance is a complex function that allows human beings to be aware of the position of their body and its segments, and to control them. The child's body can be a central platform for building that knowledge.
