ABSTRACT

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of fidget spinner training on the hand functionand handwriting legibility of lower grade elementary school studens. Methods : This study randomly assigned a study group of 12 children and control group of 12 children from 24children in grade 1 and 2 (ages 7 through 8), whose are dominantly right handed. The study used was a pre-postprocess. The intervention was conducted only on the study group twice a week for 5 weeks and for 40 minutesper session, for a total of ten sessions. The measuring instruments used to compare the hand functions andhandwriting legibility were the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, Grip Strength Test, and Legibility Test. Thedata analysis used a Wilcoxon signed rank, Mann-Whitney U and Chi-Square cross analysis. Results : The fidget spinner training showed significant improvement in the study group’s hand function(grip strengthand handwriting legibility) and a significant difference was shown between the control and study groups. Conclusion : This study confirmed the value and utility of a fidget spinner as a tool for improving the hand functionand handwriting legibility of elementary school students in lower grades. Future studies are expected to verify theeffectiveness of the fidget spinner training based on the present study.
