Pencil grasps other than the dynamic tripod may be functional for handwriting. This study examined the impact of grasp on handwriting speed and legibility.
We videotaped 120 typically developing fourth-grade students while they performed a writing task. We categorized the grasps they used and evaluated their writing for speed and legibility using a handwriting assessment. Using linear regression analysis, we examined the relationship between grasp and handwriting.
We documented six categories of pencil grasp: four mature grasp patterns, one immature grasp pattern, and one alternating grasp pattern. Multiple linear regression results revealed no significant effect for mature grasp on either legibility or speed.
Pencil grasp patterns did not influence handwriting speed or legibility in this sample of typically developing children. This finding adds to the mounting body of evidence that alternative grasps may be acceptable for fast and legible handwriting.
除动态三脚架外，铅笔的其他抓握方式可能对书写具有功能性。本研究考察了抓握方式对书写速度和清晰度的影响。
我们对 120 名典型发展的四年级学生进行了录像，记录他们进行书写任务的过程。我们对他们使用的握笔方式进行分类，并使用书写评估来评估他们的书写速度和清晰度。通过线性回归分析，我们考察了握笔方式与书写之间的关系。
我们记录了六种铅笔握笔方式：四种成熟的握笔模式、一种不成熟的握笔模式和一种交替握笔模式。多元线性回归结果显示，成熟的握笔方式对书写的清晰度和速度均无显著影响。
在本典型发展儿童样本中，铅笔握笔方式并未影响书写速度或清晰度。这一发现进一步证明，对于快速、清晰的书写，替代握笔方式可能是可以接受的。
