Kinaesthetic abilities of clumsy children.
Kinaesthesis was examined in 80 clumsy and 80 control children aged between six and nine years. Seven tasks were administered which required passive and active movements in both kinaesthetic and kinaesthetic-visual modes. Clumsy children performed inferiorly on three tasks which involved passive or active demands. A range of tasks appears to be necessary to identify kinaesthetic dysfunction.
