Functional and postural lateral preferences in humans: interrelations and life-span age differences.

Human biology - 1 Aug 2002

Dittmar Manuela

Abstract excerpt

This study aimed to provide data on lateral preferences among older subjects, to analyze age differences, and to determine interrelations between lateral preferences. Four functional preferences (handedness, footedness, eyedness, earedness) and three postural lateral preferences (hand-clasping, arm-folding, leg-crossing) were assessed in 628 Germans (252 men, 376 women) aged between 19 and 90 years.
