Do any of you have motor/movement problems?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not good at sports, and I couldn't ride a two-wheeler until I was ten because of my frustration issues.

Let's see...

1: I now have problems riding a bike that we're present a couple years ago. My bike wobbles left and right and I risk falling over.

2: I can NOT tie my shoelaces...and I get really fed up when my dad tells me "you're too old to have someone else tie your shoelaces," in his usual "Take it like a man" attitude.

3: I'm very clumsy and may fall over if I have to dance.

4: When I'm drowsy, move every breakable thing out of the room.

5: I have problems with keeping a steady walk/run.

6: I have a horrible aim.

Your dad must be a tad ignorant about your motor abilities then.

I am probably the clumsiest person in the world. I can't walk for more than a few seconds before breaking something. I never catch anything that is thrown at me. Never.

i do, sometimes i cannot keep my hand steady on occasions when i am putting pressure on items i am holding to keep them steady, for example when i'm cutting card with a cutting knife, i'm putting pressure down on the tool, and leaning it against a ruler and then it just goes off somewhere else.

I have Dyspraxia so you would be right in saying I am clumsy :) I can however tie my shoelaces. I worked really hard for years to be able to do that. I bang into things a lot though. A another good reason to wear hiking boots everywhere! It does not hurt when you tread on something/ get your feet trodden on/ bang into wall/ trip up going up the stairs etc. I can ride a two wheeled bicycle. Though not very well or in a straight line. I cannot walk or run in a straight line.

I was pretty clumsy as a child, but grew out of it. I still have an odd walk though. I have almost perfect hand-eye coordination even though my right eye is suppressed .

I have mostly fine motor problems. My handwriting is like a 2 year old's. I am OK at gross motor skills, but that's mostly because I haven't practiced much as I am not into sports at all. I am not a good sprinter at all, I am much better at long distance running than sprinting.

I'm very clumsy, always walking into things, knocking things over and falling. I can't walk in a straight line (I seem to drift) and I have an awkward gait. I often crash into walls and stand on others' heels or bump into them. I think the latter problem occurs when I'm focusing on the ground and not really paying attention to those around me... although, I still bump into anyone I'm walking next to. Also, I trip over my feet, fairly often and fall on my ankle a lot (aside from my normal falling; it just seems to give out sometimes).

My aim is incredibly unreliable; the ball seems to go in the wrong direction.

My handwriting is fairly poor and I have difficulty catching things. On the otherhand, I am, for some reason, very good at skiing. It's the only sport I'm good at, though. I'm more of a danger playing team sports than bad at them, though. Even though I miss the ball in games like basketball, I seem to be brilliant at running headlong into players. Unintentionally, though.

I cant ride a bike, but apart from that im ok. I used to have a bit of difficulty with dexterity, but as I got older, it seems to have got a lot better, I think playing the guitar has helped a lot.

Also I have quite scruffy handwriting. And when I was in school an old friend of mine said I used to drift into him when we were talking and walking along.
