Catch! Movement kinematics of two-handed catching in boys with Developmental Coordination Disorder

Highlights ► Sequencing and symmetry of two-handed catching in boys with DCD was examined. ► They displayed longer movement times and altered upper limb kinematics. ► There was greater variability in joint range of motion. ► The action was more asymmetrical. ► These inefficiencies in technique are l...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Sequencing and symmetry of two-handed catching in boys with DCD was examined. ► They displayed longer movement times and altered upper limb kinematics. ► There was greater variability in joint range of motion. ► The action was more asymmetrical. ► These inefficiencies in technique are likely to compromise catching performance.
