dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Motor performance is an important feature that can be measured to observe the development of the central and peripheral nervous system. Fine motor skill assessed by Morische-Leistungs-Serie (MLS) was studied in normal male and female right-handers and left-handers considering familial sinistrality and writing hand. Evaluations were conducted by measuring fine motor performance through the use of a modern computerized model. Materials and Methods: Hand preference was assessed by the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory Geschwind score (GS). Fine motor skills were measured by the MLS in the computerized Vienna Test System. Results: Left-handed volunteers had a significantly higher fine motor skills in both dominant and nondominant hands compared to right-handed volunteers. Conclusions: These results suggest that the contributions of the right and left cerebral hemispheres to the motor output of the brain depend on sex and more importantly, hand preference. It was determined that left handed subjects were more skillfull than right-handed subjects when dominant hands or weak hands were compared. © 2024 Journal of Integrative Nursing All rights reserved.
