Research Abstract	【purpose】Evaluate handedness ability for writing when I change it at a point of view of the pen operation【object】It was a patient (orthopedic group) who came to have difficulty with the use of the right hand, a physically unimpaired person by patient (CVA group) which presented right hemiplegia by cerebrovascular disorder, a orthopedic disease ( normal group). 【method】The problem trace eight figures which I showed. The number of times to trace was ten times about one example. The measurement data were drawing time, pressure of the pen, a drawing area, a drawing trace length, grip pressure of the pens.【result】The accuracy of the calque of CVA group compared it with normal crowd ・orthopedic group by plural figures, and it became clear that accuracy was low because an area difference with the problem figure and the lap diameter of the problem figure and a difference of the drawing trace head were big.
