Content:
- Definition of Non-Locomotive Movement:
- Movement that involves moving parts of the body without moving the whole body from one place to another.
- Also called axial movement.
- Examples of Non-Locomotive Movement:
- Stretching: Extending limbs or body parts.
- Bending: Moving a body part at a joint.
- Rocking: Shifting weight back and forth.
- Jerking: Quick, sudden movement.
- Swinging: Moving back and forth or in a circular motion.
- Swaying: Moving side to side gently.
- Definition of Manipulative Movement:
- Movement involving the control, turning, twisting, bending, beating, bouncing, throwing, catching, or causing an object to move.
- Examples of Manipulative Movement:
- Bouncing: Using force to make an object move up and down.
- Striking: Hitting an object with a part of the body or a tool.
- Kicking: Using the foot to propel an object.
- Throwing: Propelling an object through the air.
- Turning: Rotating an object or body part.
