Influence of age, sex, hearing loss and balance on development of throwing by deaf children.
131 deaf boys and girls were evaluated on development of the overhand throw. Mature form in this skill was related to chronological age and to balance proficiency. Sex and hearing loss do not appear to affect level of development for throwing.
