Abstract
Motor skills were investigated in 18 children 2 years after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Gross and fine motor functioning were examined with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children. Handwriting as a specific fine motor skill was studied with a computerized writing task. We conclude that 2 years after cessation of treatment motor problems in ALL survivors were still present. Dysfunctions were mainly pronounced in handwriting and fine motor skills.Entities:
