Description

[Purpose] In this study, we examined whether tracing text for training in writing is effective for improving the accuracy of writing with the non-dominant hand. [Subjects] The subjects were 20 healthy people (10 men, 10 women; average age, 30.3 years old). [Methods] The subjects were divided into A and B intervention groups. A group subjects laid tracing paper on a text, and practiced writing by tracing the text on the tracing paper. B group subjects put the text next to white paper, and practiced writing by copying the text to the white paper. Accuracy and time of writing were measured. [Results] A significant improvement in accuracy of writing between before and after intervention was found only for A group (p<0.05). [Conclusion] This result suggests tracing text for writing training is effective for improving the accuracy of writing with the non-dominant hand.<br>
