ROBERTS ; Jodi E. SIEVER ; Judith A. MAIR Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 745-755 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Kinésiologie  Sensation Résumé : Objectives We studied whether Grade 4--6 students who participated in a kinesthetic writing intervention improved in legibility, speed, and personal satisfaction with cursive handwriting. Method Small groups of students with handwriting difficulties were seen weekly for 7 wk using a kinesthetic writing system. A repeated measures design was used to evaluate change in global legibility, individual letter formation, specific features of handwriting, and personal satisfaction. Results Analysis revealed (1) a significant increase in ratings of global legibility (p < .01; clinically significant improvements in 39% of students); (2) significant improvements in letter formation and legibility features of baseline, closure, and line quality (all p < .05); (3) increased handwriting speed (p < .05; not clinically significant); and (4) significant increase in measures with personal satisfaction of handwriting (p < .01). Conclusion A kinesthetic handwriting intervention may be effective in improving the skills of students with handwriting challenges.
