Clients with Homolateral Movement Patterns: Infants move homolaterally until they begin to crawl. Cross-crawling, a contralateral movement pattern, properly organizes a baby’s central nervous system because it stimulates the corpus callosum facilitating communication between the hemispheres of the brain. Some parents encourage their children to move from crawling to walking before a strong neurological bridge has formed. As a result, smooth cross-patterned movement may never fully develop. Traum
