Motor skills is the ability to control specific muscle movements. Muscle movements develop strongly from the head downwards. Babies develop the ability to control their heads before controlling hand movements.<\/p>\n

Motor skills can be identified as gross or fine. Gross motor skills involve large muscles such as arms and legs. Fine motor skills involve more complex actions with smaller muscles.<\/p>\n

Motor skills indicate development. Delayed motor skill development can indicate a neurological condition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
