There was a significant relationship between tactile threshold and dysgraphia. (P<0.05).In children with dysgraphia, the tactile threshold was high. Hand dexterity was significantly poorer in A group than B group. (P<0.05). Grip strength and Pinch strength were significantly poorer in A group than B group. (P<0.05 for G.S and P<0.05 for P.S). There was a significant relationship between handwriting skill and dysgraphia. (P<0.05).
