Writing posture in right hemiplegic children.
The handwriting posture of 29 children with congenital right hemiparesis was classified according to standard criteria. All 29 children, who ranged in age from 4 to 14 years, were classified unambiguously as noninverted writers. The prevalence of noninverted writing in this sample differs significantly from that reported for the general population of children. The data thus support the claim that neural factors contribute to handwriting posture.
