Fine Motor Coordination/Handwriting

Handwriting is a secondary issue, so anything you do to normalize brain function will usually help. Oftentimes very fast, sloppy handwriting is helped by quieting the brain, shifting into more SMR in the central strip. If you change the brain issues, the effect in my experience is pretty permanent.

Handwriting problems seem sometimes to be related to hurrying and sometimes to fine-motor coordination.  Both seem to respond well to right-sided SMR uptraining.  Always a good idea to check out the whole picture of the brain before doing a training protocol, but C4/A2 SMR up and theta down is a remarkably safe place to start.

The area related to the right hand would be forward of C3 (over the motor cortex, not the sensory), but handwriting is likely related to coordination of movement as much as movement itself.  Training at Cz, where there are strong connections to the thalamus and the basal ganglia–one structure involved in adjusting and coordinating movement–would probably make the most sense.  Despite the claims by some trainers to be able to have specific functional effects from specific trainings, there’s not a whole lot of evidence of that.  If the body comes more under control, as it usually will with successful SMR training, handwriting usually improves.
