[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect that fine motor skills have on handwriting legibility in children of preschool age. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were 52 children of normal growth and development. In order to ascertain handwriting legibility, a Korean alphabet writing assessment was used; to measure fine motor skills, fine motor precision and ma...

Urban landscapes form the main parts of the city. One of these spaces is urban streets, in whichsocial interactions and urban vitality reach its maximum quality and quantity. One of the principles and properties ofurban landscape design is its intelligibility. A viewer who takes a look at an intelligible city and knows it can attract newemotional manifestations of city without damaging its orig...

The move to a digital health service may improve some components of health systems: information, communication and documentation of care. This article gives a brief definition and history of what is meant by an electronic health record (EHR). There is some evidence of benefits in a number of areas, including legibility, accuracy and the secondary use of information, but there is a need for furt...

How does handwriting legibility affect the performance of algorithms that link individuals across census rounds? We propose a measure legibility, which we implement at scale for 1940 U.S. Census, and find strikingly wide variation in enumeration-district-level legibility. Using boundary discontinuities enumeration districts, estimate causal effect low on quality linked samples, measured by link...

Pencil Grasp Pattern: How Critical is it to Functional Handwriting? Heidi D. Schwellnus Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Rehabilitation Science University of Toronto 2012 This thesis reports the results of a large study to evaluate the kinetics of pencil grasp patterns in terms of speed and legibility of handwriting of children in Grade 4. Current clinical practice as recent as 2008 ...

The purpose of this study was to quantify real-world highway sign reading behavior while driving at night. Sign reading behavior was assessed using traditional self-report augmented by an in-vehicle eye tracking system. Good agreement was found between eye movement data (last-look distance) and verbal report measures of sign legibility distance (r = 0.9). Significant reductions in legibility di...
