Research on unimanual tasks suggested that motor asymmetries between hands may be reduced in people with Down syndrome. Our study examined handedness (as assessed by hand performance) and perceptual-motor integration effects on bimanual coordination.
Adults with Down syndrome (13 non-right-handed, 22 right-handed), along with comparison groups of adults (16 non-right-handed, 21 right-handed) and children (15 non-right-handed, 22 right-handed) without Down syndrome, drummed with auditory, verbal and visual instructions.
In contrast to handedness effects in the children and adults without Down syndrome, right-handed participants with Down syndrome led more with the left hand, and had lower coordination stability than non-right-handed participants with Down syndrome.
The reversed handedness effect during bimanual coordination suggests a complex relationship between handedness and task requirements in adults with Down syndrome.
单手任务的研究表明，唐氏综合征患者双手之间的运动不对称性可能会降低。我们的研究考察了利手（通过手部表现评估）和知觉运动整合对双手协调的影响。
唐氏综合征成人（13 名非右利手，22 名右利手），以及无唐氏综合征的成人（16 名非右利手，21 名右利手）和儿童（15 名非右利手，22 名右利手）对照组，按照听觉、言语和视觉指令击鼓。
与无唐氏综合征的儿童和成人的利手效应相反，唐氏综合征的右利手参与者更多地用左手引导，并且协调稳定性低于非右利手的唐氏综合征参与者。
在双手协调过程中出现的相反的利手效应表明，唐氏综合征成人的利手与任务要求之间存在复杂的关系。
