| Research Abstract |
We developed a new handwriting assessment system using a tablet PC that could record the pen's trajectories and pressures during handwriting tasks. We examined the relationship between handwriting (drawing or writing) skills, visual function, and handwriting performance. For drawing skills, the standard values for normal boys (Grades 2-6) were calculated from two drawing tasks. For writing legibility, the standard values were calculated for the evaluation index using size, space, and alignment of characters. The relationship between drawing skills, visual function, and handwriting performance was as follows. For eye movement, children with a long outside stroke length tended to be different from children with no outside stroke length as well as from adults. Regarding the tracing of body movements for handwriting performance, children with a long outside stroke length were longer compared to children with no outside stroke length as well as to adults.
