Hi Merrilee
I am left handed, write with left, and am left legged as i found out when skating, however, i do many things in the 'right handed mode' including playing guitar and all other musical instruments. I play tennis with left hand and golf when younger) with the right. I use a knife and fork as the righties do, but have to use my left to get the soup to my mouth.
I don't see this as something to be repertorised or 'fixed', I see this as being darn lucky! a special talent!
i can also write mirror writing, which I used to do to bother various teachers when in grade school, by writing whole pages in this manner (now this could have been repped maybe!)

Maybe dexterity could be a general description of ambidextrous - which I believe means that a person can do the same task with both hands with equal skill. I can write with my right hand, but it ain't as good as the left so i don't think I am ambidextrous

I must say that I cannot understand why people have to play an instrument like the guitar any other way than the accepted standard - it makes no sense, as both hands are used for the task. It causes no end of problems for others trying to show these people how to play, as i found when teaching guitar earlier in my life.
Maybe this one could be repped (only joking). Maybe these types are inflexible, and this could be looked at for tasks that use both hands, and don't require strength or agility to execute.

Folks, I am being light hearted here, please no left-handed guitarists take offence.

Thanks for the speedy reply Robin. Dont want to "fix" just get a
whole picture and no dextrous is simply deft at doing things as in
clever they generally use the right hand for everything.
Ambidextrous uses specific hands to do specific jobs and can do it
with either. "lucky" and "special talents" like this when they reach
into later life are unusual. Young kids are often so but not the
older adult.
Do you have a rubric "dexterity" and where?

I have read that many left-handed people are ambidextrous and that studies have shown that ambidextrous people are more emotionally independent, more determined, more adaptable to new situations adn more apt to handle problems without giving up. If this is so, then maybe a personality type can lead you to a remedy that may cover some of these. See if these fit with your client.

It seems that conclusions have been drawn that left-handed and ambidextrous people have 11% larger corpus collosa joining the left and right side of brain than right-handed people. The upside for right-handed people is that they can increase this area by practicing, however, this is not as easy as it sounds, alot of people complaining that using the non-dominant hand causes great tension and in some anxiety.

Maybe Joy Lucas will have some ideas

Herscu mentions medorrhinum being indicated for children who are confused about which hand to use, and constantly swap hands during activities - I have seen this in some kids and it causes them to be less skilled at either hand than those sticking to one.

Maybe left-sided remedies will give a clue, with many things happening on the left eg. Phos

I think this is an interesting question you have asked, and i am now interested enough to look into it further.
Thanks Merrilee

I never found a rubric, but my son used to be that way (or rather, a little
kid's version). It was explained to me as a sort of neural "confusion", and
after (lots of) Med -- which BTW was given *entirely* on a "presenting
picture" basis -- the "ambidextrousness" became much less marked -- which
our chiro said was a sign of greater integration in some way.

(I'd see no point in telling the patient any of that, tho, unless he became
concerned by changes...)

FWIW...

Hi Merrilee,
Can you explain what you meant here?
Are you saying that it's more likely to cause problems in an adult (which is
opposite of what I would have expected), or ???

Thanks!

Hi
Nothing to fix just that usually these things sort themselves out in
the childhood early adult. either becomming left or right handed etc
in this older adult there seems to be the regressing into the
confusion as to which hand to use when,eg. swapping the raquet hand
as the ball comes towards him, getting the food on the fork and then
swapping hands because it feels uncomfortable on raising the fork to
the mouth etc. I am using the mental rubric memory and forgetful,
confusion, muddled, mistakes, thinking difficult etc then the
ambidextrous hit me, so just looking for ideas as it all seemed
interesting just exploring ideas really

This discussion is interesting from a standpoint of brain physiology. I
learned at some point (and this may be somewhat controversial, although I
don't think so) that right handed people predictably localized the speech
and mathematical centers in the left side of the brain, the emotional,
spatial, and perceptual centers in the right side -- in other words, the
brains of right-sided people have predictable locations (as to side) for
different brain functions. In contrast, people who are left-handed are not
so predictable in the places where different functions are located, and a
single function may even be bilateral. This seems to correspond to the
greater "ambidexterity" people are documenting for left-handed individuals.

For what it's worth. Rosemary

[merrileecoblenz]

That was helpful so left handed may be a rubric or left sides as in
weakness's
thanks merrilee
