| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the clumsiness of children with developmental disorder from their operations of a scissor and a compass. We analyzed the relationship among the kinematic characteristics of fingers identified by utilizing 3-axis and 2-axis pressure sensors, the results of motion analysis, and intellectual characteristics measured by neuropsychological tests. The subjects who showed low muscle tone and reduced coordination of fingers could not put properly directed pressure on the loop of the scissor and also excessive motions were observed at their shoulders and forearms. However, the subjects whose clumsiness was associated with immaturity of visual space perception did not express the characteristics. Excessive pressures on the top of the desk and to the horizontal direction were observed for all subjects when they used the compass. We developed a self-help device with which the subject could control the pressure on the loop of the scissor. We confirmed the effect with two subjects.
