- strengthening the upper body and core muscles for other gross motor tasks - strengthening the upper body and core muscles to create a stable base for fine motor skills - developing stability in the bones of the shoulder joint (the ball and socket joints of the shoulders and hips are shallow and unstable at birth but are molded into stronger, more stable joints through weight - bearing)- visual development to quickly shift focus from
near to far - hand - eye - coordination - providing plentiful early opportunities for motor planning (movement problem - solving)- refining balance -
integrating the movement (vestibular), pressure & stretch (proprioceptive), visual and touch (tactile) sensory systems - learning to coordinate movements where two
sides of the body are doing different movements - learning to coordinate upper body and lower body movements - developing body awareness and spatial awareness - fostering independence
Photographed
near Subaru's U.S. headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the prototype wears minimal camouflage gear, allowing us to see the enormous rear wing echoed by an equally large diffuser, with the sharper - looking body kit also including a redesigned front bumper with
integrated spoiler and hidden air intakes, as well as
side sills.
