Advanced parametrization of graphomotor difficulties in school-aged children

School-aged children spend 31–60% of their time at school performing handwriting, which is a complex perceptual-motor skill composed of a coordinated combination of fine graphomotor movements. As up to 30% of them experience graphomotor difficulties (GD), timely diagnosis of these difficulties and t...

Sumario:School-aged children spend 31–60% of their time at school performing handwriting, which is a complex perceptual-motor skill composed of a coordinated combination of fine graphomotor movements. As up to 30% of them experience graphomotor difficulties (GD), timely diagnosis of these difficulties and therapeutic intervention are of great importance. At present, an objective, computerized decision support system for the identification and assessment of GD in school-aged children is still missing. In this study, we propose three novel advanced handwriting parametrization techniques based on modulation spectra, fractional order derivatives, and tunable Q-factor wavelet transform to improve the identification of GD using online handwriting.
