title: [The practical significance of laterality].
abstract: In the present review the practical relevance and the problems of left-handedness have been discussed. Nowadays the diagnosis of the correct hand for writing and learning to write are very important for left-handers. Laterality is a hybrid phenomenon which concerns not only pedagogics but also many other fields, such as medicine, transport, sport and art.
