Handwriting is a complex activity that entails an intricate blend of cognitive, sensory and motor abilities. The act of writing presents difficulties for children with dysgraphia and ADHD. The objective of this study was to determine ways in which the analysis of both objective, digitizer-based evaluation of the handwriting process and subjective, human-based evaluation of the handwriting produ...

Evidence suggests that task-based training approaches can improve the performance of children with handwriting difficulties. The present case study tests the efficacy of the Handwriting Task Program (HTP). Three male children (9-10 yr. old) with poor handwriting skills and different developmental disorders participated in the HTP, twice per week, for 13 wk. Handwriting legibility was assessed t...

Abstract Date Presented 04/01/2022 This mixed-methods research study explores the effectiveness of a community-based telehealth handwriting camp to improve legibility in school-age children (ages 5-9 years). The was lead by an experienced OT practitioner and supported college-level student volunteers, it used materials from Handwriting Without Tears curriculum. Pre- postcamp assessments were sc...

Handwriting is a complex human activity that entails an intricate blend of cognitive, kinesthetic and perceptual-motor components. Children are expected to acquire a level of handwriting proficiency that enables them to make skillful use of handwriting as a tool to carry out their work at school. Poor handwriters have difficulty developing their writing skills and, as a result, often suffer in ...

We investigated the detection of handwriting forgery by both human and machine. We obtained experimental handwriting data from subjects writing samples in their natural style and writing forgeries of other subjects’ handwriting. These handwriting samples were digitally scanned and stored in an image database. We investigated the ease of forging handwriting, and found that many subjects can succ...

This study examined the effectiveness of two approaches used in elementary schools to improve children's handwriting. Participants were 72 New York City public school students from the first and second grades. A nonequivalent pretest-posttest group design was used in which students engaged in handwriting activities using two approaches: intensive handwriting practice and visual-perceptual-motor...

Handwriting recognition has been an active and challenging area of research. Handwriting recognition system plays a very important role in today's world. Handwriting recognition is very popular and computationally expensive work. At present time it is very difficult to find correct meaning of handwritten documents. There are many areas where we need to recognize the words, alphabets and di...

objectives: the main purpose of this study is to produce an instrument for handwriting evaluation and to execute it on mentally retarded (mr) students. methods: this was a descriptive, cross-sectional, and relationship study. 126 mr students (53 girls and 73 boys) ranging from 9 to 19 years old (13.23±2.17) from two exceptional children schools in shahr-e-rey participated in this study. a handw...

Received Jan 11, 2017 Revised Apr 7, 2017 Accepted Jun 11, 2017 Offline cursive handwriting becomes a major challenge due to the huge amount of handwriting varieties such as slant handwriting, space between words, the size and direction of the letter, the style of writing the letter and handwriting with contour similarity on some letters. There are some steps for recursive handwriting recogniti...

The aim of this study was to quantify stability of nondominant handwriting kinematics and legibility in participants with functional loss of the previously dominant hand. Twelve adult volunteers provided two handwriting samples 6 weeks apart. Handwriting tasks (Compose a Sentence, Copy Alphabet, Copy Date, Copy Sentence, and Draw Circles) were performed in cursive writing on standard white, lin...
