Hand and Eye Dominance in Schizophrenia
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1972Venables (1969) has suggested that a disturbance of lateral balance might be found in schizophrenia. Since this balance may be reflected in the hand dominance shown by the individual an investigation into the handedness of schizophrenics was carried out.

A Comparison of Dominant and Non-Dominant Hand Strengths
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1999This study compares dominant and non-dominant hand strength in both right- and left-handed participants. Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle, power grip strength and pulp-to-pulp pinch strength were assessed under carefully controlled conditions.

Left non-dominant hand mirror writing
Brain and Language, 1989A 38-year-old right-handed woman, who had suffered a left cerebral hemisphere infarction, was studied. She developed right hemiparesis, motor and sensory aphasia, and left hand mirror writing. All possible brain mechanisms involved in writing, either perceptual or motor, were investigated in search of the one responsible for her mirror writing; however,

Differing roles for the dominant and non-dominant hands in the hand laterality task
Experimental Brain Research, 2011Determining the handedness of visually presented stimuli is thought to involve two separate stages--a rapid, implicit recognition of laterality followed by a confirmatory mental rotation of the matching hand. In two studies, we explore the role of the dominant and non-dominant hands in this process.

Ulnar Dominant Hand and Forearm
The Neurologist, 2005An ulnar-to-median anastomosis in the forearm is a rare condition, but may be present in any electromyographic case. A thorough approach to this condition is required to avoid misinterpretation of the electrodiagnostic report and confusion during the test.

Evoked Cortical Potentials: Relation to Hand Dominance and Eye Dominance
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1970The amplitude and symmetry of right- and left-occipital lobe evoked potentials (EPs) to right and left visual-field stimulation were studied as a function of hand and eye dominance in female Ss. For all Ss, right-lobe EP amplitudes were greater than left-lobe during left visual-field, but not right visual-field, stimulation.

Language comprehension and dominant hand motion simulation
Human Movement Science, 2009In five experiments participants were presented with pairs of nouns and verbs. They were asked to decide whether the combinations made sense or not. Half of the participants responded "yes" with the dominant hand, half with the left hand. When pairs referred to manual and mouth actions, participants responded faster with the dominant than with the left

Hand Dominance and Motor Unit Firing Behavior
Journal of Neurophysiology, 1998Adam, Alexander, Carlo J. De Luca, and Zeynep Erim. Hand dominance and motor unit firing behavior. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 1373–1382, 1998. Daily preferential use was shown to alter physiological and mechanical properties of skeletal muscle. This study was aimed at revealing differences in the control strategy of muscle pairs in humans who show a clear ...

Crossed dominance (CD) is defined as an individual's dominant hand and dominant eye being on opposite sides of the body. CD negatively impacts an individual's ability to accurately aim and fire long-barreled guns. The authors developed and evaluated a hand dominance transfer (HDT) intervention to improve the M16 rifle shooting accuracy, efficiency, and
