“…The strongest associations were with visual motor integration and total motor scores. This is consistent with recent reports that stereopsis plays an important role in the development of specific fine motor skills in children with normal vision (Alramis et al, 2016) and visuomotor control in patients with amblyopia or strabismus (Caputo et al, 2007; Drover et al, 2008; Grant et al, 2007; Melmoth et al, 2009; Rogers et al, 1982). …”

“…Disorders of binocular vision such as amblyopia and strabismus disrupt normal development of visually guided reaching and grasping (Grant, Suttle, Melmoth, Conway, & Sloper, 2014; Simon Grant & Conway, 2014; Simon Grant, Melmoth, Morgan, & Finlay, 2007; Simon Grant & Moseley, 2011b; Mazyn, Lenoir, Montagne, Delaey, & Savelsbergh, 2007; Melmoth, Finlay, Morgan, & Grant, 2009; O’Connor, Birch, Anderson, & Draper, 2010b; Suttle, Melmoth, Finlay, Sloper, & Grant, 2011) and impair performance on standardized tests of fine motor function (Caputo et al, 2007; Drover, Stager, Morale, Leffler, & Birch, 2008; Hrisos, Clarke, Kelly, Henderson, & Wright, 2006; Rogers, Chazan, Fellows, & Tsou, 1982; Webber, Wood, Gole, & Brown, 2008, Webber, Wood, & Thompson, 2016). However, the relationship between stereoacuity and fine motor function in normally developing children may be limited to specific tasks.…”

Global motion perception is related to motor function in 4.5-year-old children born at risk of abnormal development

Global motion perception is often used as an index of dorsal visual stream function in neurodevelopmental studies. However, the relationship between global motion perception and visuomotor control, a primary function of the dorsal stream, is unclear. We measured global motion perception (motion coherence threshold; MCT) and performance on standardized measures of motor function in 606 4.5-year-old children born at risk of abnormal neurodevelopment. Visual acuity, stereoacuity and verbal IQ were also assessed. After adjustment for verbal IQ or both visual acuity and stereoacuity, MCT was modestly, but significantly, associated with all components of motor function with the exception of gross motor scores. In a separate analysis, stereoacuity, but not visual acuity, was significantly associated with both gross and fine motor scores. These results indicate that the development of motion perception and stereoacuity are associated with motor function in pre-school children.

“…13,14 There are relatively few data comparing hand-eye coordination in subjects with poor stereopsis to those with normal stereopsis. Various reports have included children with strabismus, [15][16][17] adults with childhood-onset strabismus, adults with longstanding loss of vision in one eye, and adults with normal stereopsis who have one eye occluded. It is important to consider that these categories may not be equivalent.…”

“…For unimanual speed, the time criteria become more stringent for older children and hence making this item more complex for children with VI. 22 For eye-hand coordination, the task becomes more complex for older children with VI, as the spatial constraints become stricter and, therefore, the demands on vision become higher.…”

“…It is possible that different eye conditions might correspond to differences in motor skill performance. 22 Furthermore, other visual functions such as binocularity may influence motor skill performance. 29 Although the sample is heterogeneous, this is representative of the population of children with VI.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the performance of children with visual impairments (VI) aged 7 to 10 years on different types of motor skills. Furthermore, the association between the degree of the VI and motor performance was examined. The motor performance of 48 children with VI (32 males, 16 females; mean age 8y 10mo [SD 1y 1mo]) was assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC). Their performance was compared with 48 children without VI (33 males, 15 females; mean age 8y 9mo [SD 1y 1mo]). Children with VI showed the poorest performance compared with peers without VI on unimanual speed, eye-hand coordination, catching, static balance, and dynamic balance while moving slowly. There was no significant difference between children with moderate and severe VI, except for bimanual coordination in 7-to 8-yearolds and eye-hand coordination in both the 7-to 8-year-olds and 9-to 10-year-olds, favouring the children with moderate VI. The poor performance compared with children without VI is related to vision, but the degree of the VI does not appear to relate to motor performance, except when associated with bimanual and eye-hand coordination. For children with VI, it seems very important to adjust the environmental context and task to enhance motor performance.Motor skill performance can be seen as the interaction between a child's characteristics and capabilities with environmental and task characteristics. 1-3 For children with visual impairments (VI; best corrected visual acuity ≤ 6/18 [0.3] in the better eye), 4 their visual impairment may act as a constraint, slowing down motor skill acquisition or leading to qualitatively different motor skills. 5,6 Earlier studies have shown that children with VI generally have lower motor performance than their peers without VI, but also that some motor tasks are a more difficult than others. 7-9 However, as previous studies have either focused on a subset of motor skills 8,9 (e.g. manual dexterity) or have compared motor skill areas 7 (e.g. gross motor skills vs fine motor skills) without focusing on specific motor skills, the question remains whether all motor skills cause difficulty for children with VI or only more visually demanding motor skills.That some motor tasks lead to more problems for children with VI may be related to the extent to which visual information is necessary for successful performance. 10 This depends on the environmental context and type of task. Children with VI may be more adversely affected in environments with changing conditions, as visual information is important for updating representations of body, motion, location, and orientation. 10,11 Similarly, the demands of the task may increase or decrease the need for visual information for successful performance. 12 If children cannot accurately use visual information, intuitively one might expect the greater the VI the worse the motor performance. The association between the degree of VI and motor performance is, however, not clear. 13 Although studies showed primarily that...
