Comparison of motor performance of children with learning disorder and typical development

During learning, is the period of acquisition of motor skills, which is an important aspect in the life of human beings, however, several studies have found difficulties occurred during the schooling process, because some children in this period have school performance lower than expected for age. This study aims to compare the motor performance of children with learning disorder compared to typically developing grafomotora during a production. The fine motor performance was assessed by production grafomotora, and analyzed the following variables: runtime, absolute size, average speed, tremor, pen pressure, and number of segments. The study included 17 children with typical development and 17 with diagnosed learning disorder, male and female, aged between 10 and 13 years.
