Motor coordination maturity in healthy 7-10 years old children.
Finger-nose test and the test of diadochokinesis were performed in order to estimate motor coordination maturity in healthy children aged 7-10 years. Occurrence of immature motor coordination was recorded significantly more often in sever-year-old children (present in 44%) than in the other age groups (present in 20-27%). In some children it was present only on the side of nondominant hand, and in the rest of them bilaterally. Positive correlation between the level of ability to perform the applied tasks and specific relations between different types of lateralization are discussed.
