Summary

This study presents a Turbo Pascal program for eye-hand coordination testing using a standard PC mouse. The program evaluates coordination through tracing simple shapes, measuring performance with root mean squared (RMS) and modulus mean error (MME).

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Effective eye-hand coordination is crucial for many daily tasks and clinical assessments.
  • Standardized methods are needed to quantify eye-hand coordination objectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a Turbo Pascal program for evaluating eye-hand coordination.
  • To utilize standard PC mouse input for objective performance measurement.

Main Methods:

  • A Turbo Pascal program was developed for eye-hand coordination testing.
  • Participants traced contour segments of geometric figures (square, circle, triangle) using a PC mouse.
  • Performance was quantified using root mean squared (RMS) error, modulus mean error (MME), and tracing time.

Main Results:

  • The program successfully calculated tracing performance metrics (RMS, MME) and tracing time.
  • These metrics provide a quantitative basis for evaluating eye-hand coordination ability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Turbo Pascal program offers a viable tool for assessing eye-hand coordination.
  • The use of standard PC mouse input and defined metrics allows for accessible and objective evaluation.
