[Distribution of hand laterality in preschool-age children].
Laterality means functional dominance of one in the pair of organs. It represents the external manifestation of integrative activity of cerebral cortex meaning the domination of functionally dominant hand; the usability lateralization depends on the domination of cerebral hemisphere of gestural lateralization and the domination of cerebral hemisphere or gestural lateralization and the influence of the environment. On the basis of laterality population is divided into right-handed and left-handed with a very stressed degree of lateralization and those undecided with a minimal previal of handidness of one hand. In most people the domination of cerebral hemisphere is average or weak and that's the reason why the influence of the environment is of importance when forming the dominant hand. In the clinical practice the hand laterality is used as an index for the type and degree of cerebral hemisphere domination, for condition of gestural laterality with the usability of the dominant hand and form the differentiation of the dominant hand in the case of minimal difference in handidness.
