Three-hundred and ten medical students volunteered as subjects. Handedness was assessed by a 13-item questionnaire adapted from Chapman and Chapman. Fine motor performance was measured using a finger tapping task. In this task, subjects were required to tap as rapidly as possible with their index finger on a mouse button for a period of 10 s. There was a significant correlation between handedness scores and the scores of the finger tapping task. In the total sample, the correlation between hand speed and the handedness score indicated that the distribution of hand preference is associated with left hand speed, but not right hand speed. Results confirmed that right-handed females tend to have more asymmetric motor function than right-handed males Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001217797 |
