title: Sidedness, writing and art. Significance in some problems related to oculomotricy.
abstract: Direction in drawing depends mainly on handedness. In certain cases writing habit also has an influence, yet curiously it is less common in Western culture. Knowledge of sidedness may be important in certain squint and nystagmus cases. Kinsbourne's test is easy, innocuous and, in the author's opinion, highly reliable.
