Hand coordination skills similar between teens born very preterm, at term

20 Sep 2021

Hand coordination-related brain activation is affected by very preterm birth, with majority of the effects found for the nondominant hand, a recent study has found. Clinical performance during the hand coordination tasks is comparable between adolescents born very preterm and those born at term.
