Spatial Orientation

Spatial orientation is the ability to recognize where your body is in relation to your surroundings. It involves understanding directions such as up, down, left, right, forward, and backward, enabling you to navigate and interact with your environment effectively. This skill relies on sensory inputs from your eyes, inner ear, and body, helping you maintain balance, coordinate movements, and identify objects' locations. Good spatial orientation is essential for everyday activities like walking, driving, or reaching for something, and it also plays a role in how we perceive and understand the space around us.
