Eye-hand coordination during upper limb motor tasks in individuals with or without a neurodevelopmental disorder: a systematic review by Manel Abid, Manel Abid, Isabelle Poitras, Isabelle Poitras, Martine Gagnon, Catherine Mercier, Catherine Mercier

“…In the case of more complex tasks in terms of visuomotor and/or cognitive integration, especially for the more complex manipulation or sequential movements, individuals with NDD exhibited significantly different behaviors, with larger temporal gaps between the timing of eyes movement relative to that of the hand and more reliance on visual monitoring of hand movements.ConclusionThe results of this systematic review suggest that individuals with NDD face significant challenges in efficiently integrating visual and motor information during UL tasks that are visually, cognitively and/or physically more demanding, with more reliance on visual feedback control. …”
