Comparison of Static Balance in Trainable Mentally Handicapped and Nonhandicapped Children.

Rider, Robert A.; And Others

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v56 n1 p311-14 Feb 1983

While for 31 trainable mentally handicapped children and for 31 nonhandicapped, there were no differences in static balance on left or right legs, total balance time was significantly different between the two groups. This confirms prior work which related motor proficiency to intelligence. (Author/RD)
