The present review facilitates understanding of basic motor elements needed to develop a more complex and functional activity, which strengthen professional skills to observe, evaluate and focus its action in managing persons with motor functional disability. This information result from a literature review relates to normal movement development of human body segments and direct observance of the normal and abnormal process on several children for more than 12 years of professional experience.
