1.1 The following are three categories of movement. Define each
category and provide an example of an activity for each. (3 X 3)
• Locomotion
• Manipulation
• Stability

Locomotion:
Definition: Locomotion refers to the movement of the body from one place to
another in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Example activity: Running in a race, skipping, or hopping like a bunny are all
examples of locomotion activities.

Manipulation:
Definition: Manipulation involves the handling and control of objects, requiring
fine motor skills.
Example activity: Playing catch with a ball, using scissors to cut paper, or building
with blocks are all examples of manipulation activities.

Stability (non-locomotion skills):
Definition: Stability is the ability to maintain balance and equilibrium while
performing tasks.
Example activity: Standing on one foot without wobbling, balancing on a balance
beam, or maintaining posture while sitting upright are all examples of stability
activities.
