Eye-dominance, Writing Hand, and Throwing Hand

Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 1999
Handedness and eye-dominance are undoubtedly associated statistically, although a previous meta-analysis has found that the precise relationship is difficult to explain, with about 35% of right-handers and 57% of left-handers being left eye dominant.

Hand and Eye Dominance in Schizophrenia

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1972
Venables (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, 1999
This 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, 1989
A 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, 2011
Determining 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.

One-handed chest compression technique for paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation: dominant versus non-dominant hand

Emergency Medicine Journal, 2014
BackgroundPediatric resuscitation guidelines do not specify which hand to use for one-handed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).ObjectiveTo determine whether there is a difference in the quality of one-handed chest compressions (OHCCs) using the dominant versus non-dominant hand in simulated paediatric CPR.Materials and methods41 doctors took part in ...

Ulnar Dominant Hand and Forearm

The Neurologist, 2005
An 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, 1970
The 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.

Hand dominance and implications for left-handed operation of controls∗

Ergonomics, 1989
This review paper argues that the consequences of control performance among left-handed operators, who may represent a sizeable portion of the population, should not be disregarded as a design issue. Principally, the control panel designer may err in assuming that left-handers, given enough time and effort, will simply 'learn' to operate a complex ...

Language comprehension and dominant hand motion simulation

Human Movement Science, 2009
In 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
