Mobile Application for Analysing the Development of Motor Skills in Children

This work presents a mobile application to complement and reinforce the specific physical activities in children through training prior to such activities and monitoring their progress after it. This experiment has been developed on a healthy population of children from an education centre in the ar...

This experiment has been developed on a healthy population of children from an education centre in the area of A Coruña. The results show increasing errors for lower primary school years, as expected, and also strongly dependent on the motor path type or characteristic. Therefore, this tool will be suitable for use with children affected by motor coordination difficulties.https://www.mdpi.com/2504-3900/54/1/46data scienceengine developmentinformation systemsmobile appmotor coordination
