Abstract

In order to characterize visual function and motor patterns during the writing of first-grade children from two schools in the Barranquilla, Atlantico, we selected children without visual impairments enrolled in two educational institutions, whose parents gave informed consent. This population was made the observation of motor patterns used during the writing and applied the test of Visual Motor Integration, VMI. Based on the results of the imple- mentation of VMI was established that the motor performance was adequate in the children studied. We compare the means between chronological age and perceptual age with a confidence level of 95%. Significant difference was confirmed between the two ages (p <0.05).
