🔑 Coordinated movement isn’t about strength.
And it’s not about trying harder.
🧠 It’s about timing.
The basal ganglia acts like the brain’s conductor:
• it sequences movement
• it smooths transitions
• it keeps the body in rhythm
When this system is underdeveloped or dysregulated: ➡️ movements look awkward
➡️ kids bump, drop, rush, or freeze
➡️ adults feel stiff, slow, or uncoordinated
🚫 This isn’t clumsiness.
🚫 It’s not laziness.
✅ It’s a coordination timing issue —
and timing can be trained.
The basal ganglia learns best through:
🔁 repetitive movement
🎵 rhythm
⏸️ stop–go activities
🔄 coordinated bilateral patterns
That’s why brain based movement-based exercises can improve:
✔ coordination
✔ motor planning
✔ impulse control
✔ emotional regulation
