  • Spatial movements of each body part enables causing desired righting reflexes and performing required movements. (google.com)
  • Everyday exercises and repetition stimulation enables reinforcing these reflexes causing linear muscular contractions as a result of the interaction of a group of muscles fibres of which generally extend in the longitudinal direction, lining up an aimed movement action. (google.com)
