Multilimb coordination in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) research, little is known concerning motor coordination tasks. Whereas results are inconclusive concerning reaction time of a performed task in comparison to a neurotypical control group, there is evidence of impairments concerning interpretation of visual information. Several hypotheses on the underlying mechanisms of motor limitations in individuals have been suggested but no consensus has been reached yet. Our objective was to investigate the difference in multi-limb coordination between individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Neurotypical Adults (NTA).
