Entry for September 5, 2008 - Visual Motor Abilities and Prematurity

A recent study by Dr. Cyril Schneider, Line Nadeau et al compared visual motor coordination of children with a birth history of prematurity versus full term gestation.   The children who were born before 28 weeks gestation had significant differences in interhemispheric time, lengthened programming time for dominant hand pointing and opposite bilateral pointing.
