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.
偏侧性指的是一对器官中一个的功能优势。它代表了大脑皮质整合活动的外在表现，意味着功能优势手的主导地位；使用偏好的偏侧化取决于手势偏侧化的大脑半球的主导地位、大脑半球或手势偏侧化的主导地位以及环境的影响。基于偏侧性，人群被分为偏侧化程度非常明显的右利手和左利手，以及单手偏好程度最低的未决者。在大多数人中，大脑半球的主导地位是中等或较弱的，这就是为什么环境影响在形成优势手时很重要。在临床实践中，手的偏侧性被用作大脑半球主导类型和程度的指标、优势手使用情况的手势偏侧化状况指标，以及在单手偏好差异最小的情况下区分优势手的指标。
