Visuomotor tracking strategies in children: associations with neurodevelopmental symptoms

The research revealed that a higher neurodevelopmental symptom load was linked to decreased performance in tracking abrupt alternating directions and overshooting the target, while also suggesting difficulties in motor regulation, inhibitory control, and flexibility in correcting lateral deviations, emphasizing the intricate motor control issues associated with neurodevelopmental disorders..

A novel tablet-based motor coordination test performs on par with the Beery VMI subtest and offers superior temporal metrics: findings from children with pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome

We present and evaluate a promising tablet-based motor test for children with complex symptomatology including motor-specific problems. We found that 33 seconds of the directional offset from tracking a moving target in SpaceSwipe could predict the Beery VMI motor coordination scores.
