Changed dominant hand as a baby, what effects on my brain and body? should I switch back?

Question

I was born left-handed, but my aunt (per Chinese tradition) forced me to use my right hand; now I am completely dominantly right-handed.

I was wondering, how does this switch affect my brain and body; how am I different because of it? (I've always been very uncoordinated compared to others. Is this a result?)

If this causes complications, how can I fix it? More importantly, should I attempt to change back to left-hand dominance or become ambidextrous, or will this have negative or negligible effects?

Thanks~

Answer 1

I was born right-handed but due to a childhood accident, I was forced to use my left hand. It has no effect on your brain system okay? Who ever gave you that idea? Don't revert back to being dominantly right or left handed. Being ambidextrous is better because I am too. It has no ill-effects and it makes for a good party trick as well, my kids enjoy seeing me write with both hands at the same time. There are only a few people in this world who can do that so don't take it negatively.

Answer 2

There is no significant effect on the brain or body when you change your dominant hand. Most people who are born left handed will switch to using their right before adulthood, either naturally or through training. There is no benefit to retraining yourself at this point in your life. You don't need to "fix" anything, you are not broken, just a bit clumsy. ;)

yes i believe its what made you uncoordinated. my sister's then same way, born rt and uncle changed to left thot it was the thing to do since he's a lefty. but she's awkward but in her 30's now is much more coordinated with being a lefty. the effects physically and mentally, good question, wanna become a lab rat and find out. changing to rt. its a fifty fifty chance. u'r choice. it probably won't make you less awkward for year like my sister. just have grow with it wither way. she got better with it maybe you will too.

Answer 4

Your good with reference to the being blind section. considering the fact that that component to the concepts isn't any longer useful, the neurons on your concepts that would help with that component to the concepts this isn't any longer useful make themselves attainable on your different senses (via fact they're in different areas of the concepts) as a result strengthening them and being greater conscious. i would not think of that would practice to dropping an arm however. Muscle strikes are very different from issues like the senses.

Answer 5

My brother was left handed but my grandma gradually got him to be right handed [I guess he was kinda both tho] and I wouldn't worry about it hurting your body any. It should be just fine.

Answer 6

yeah, punch yourself in the head to switch back
