Motor test procedures such as the body coordination test by EJ Kiphard and F. Schilling for preschool age or the Vienna coordination course by SAWarwitz for school and adult age make the level of development measurable and comparable. They provide information about the normality of a stage of development and the course of development. The movements of female and male subjects differ due to their psychological and anatomical differences. In addition, every person develops their own characteristic everyday motor skills, by which they can be recognized from afar by an attentive observer.
