| Popis: | Introduction- Handwriting is an essential life skill. Handwriting problems tend to increase the griping pressure which would affect the writing speed and legibility. Some researchers say that the gripping pressure is believed to be dependent on the contact area of the pen with the fingers, or the diameter of the grip area. So the present study was conducted in order to rule out the effect of different grip sizes of pen on writing capacity in school going children’s. Objective- To find effect of training with different grip sizes of pen on writing capacity in school going children. Materials and Method- 124 school going students of Krishna English Medium School, Karad, of standard 5th and 6th were selected as subjects. Students were divided in 4 groups 31 in each group. Pre interventional writing capacity was taken by giving students a paragraph to write for 30 minutes with daily used pen. Each group were given pen of different diameter group A-0.8mm, group B-10mm, group C-12mm and group D-14mm.Every student was trained for 1 month with the provided diameter of pen by advising them to write daily for 30 minutes. Post interventional writing capacity was taken by asking students to write the same paragraph which was given for pre intervention for 30 minutes but with provided diameter pen. The number words written were calculated. Result- Pen of all diameters showed improvement in writing capacity post interventional. But there was extremely significant difference in writing capacity post interventional in group D(14 mm) P value ( |
