Brief Summary
Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disorder in the brain which makes the control and execution of movements difficult. One of the possible ways to analyze motor control in these individuals could be through analysis of movement speed and accuracy. Objective: To verify the speed-accuracy trade-off in individuals with CP. Method: 96 individuals were evaluated, 48 with CP and 48 with typical development (TD), matched by age and sex. The software used was the "Fitts' Reciprocal Aiming Task v.1.0 (Horizontal)", performed on a computer using an external optical mouse, with progressive indices of difficulty (IDs): ID2, ID4a and ID4b. Each index of difficulty was performed three times and the total time/touches captured.
