“…Despite the lack of consensus, previous studies in this area report the absence of any relationship between road length and age [ 9 ] and between handwriting pressure and age [ 9 , 38 ], which is in line with the findings of the present study. Considering the results of previous studies [ 6 , 9 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 50 ], we would have expected significant relationships between the other process characteristics of handwriting and age. However, we could not verify this.…”

“…Previous studies in typically developing children from the first and second grades of primary schools have shown that the duration of handwriting strokes [ 6 , 9 , 35 , 36 , 37 ], the number of strokes [ 6 , 38 ], the duration of pauses [ 38 , 39 ], the vertical and horizontal sizes, and the slant of the handwriting [ 37 ] tend to decrease with age, while pen velocity tends to increase with age [ 9 , 37 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. However, there is no consensus on handwriting pressure [ 9 , 35 ] or road length [ 6 , 9 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the quality and speed of handwriting and the process characteristics of the handwriting of children in the second grade of elementary school considered as a function of age and gender. A sample of 57 children (mean age 7.25 years, SD 0.43) participated in the study. The Concise Assessment Method for Children’s Handwriting (BHK) was used to assess the quality and speed of handwriting. The characteristics of the process of handwriting were assessed using MovAlyzeR® software. The handwriting of boys showed a significantly greater number of strokes and slanted more to the right than the handwriting of girls. Handwriting quality and speed significantly correlated with several process characteristics: the number of strokes, reaction time, duration, relative pen-down duration, average pen pressure, vertical size, horizontal size, road length, and average absolute velocity. This research contributes to the construction of normative values in the process characteristics of the handwriting of elementary school children and provides a promising step towards the early identification of difficulties that can lead to dysgraphia, thus preventing later difficulties in handwriting.
