Visual feedback and target size effects on reach-to-grasp tasks in children with autism . This study explores the effects of visual condition and target size during four reach-to-grasp tasks between autistic children and healthy controls . Twenty children with autism and 20 healthy controls participated in the study . Qualisys motion capture system and kinematic measures were used to record movement . Autistic group showed significantly longer movement time , larger normalized jerk score , more movement unit than controls , especially in non-visual feedback and small target blocks . Autistic group also showed significantly larger maximal grip aperture and normalized maximal grip aperture in visual feedback condition than controls . Autistic children demonstrate motor coordination problems and also depend on more visual cuing in high accuracy tasks . Autistic children develop other compensatory skills while performing tasks .
