Abstract Objective To assess the development level of hand prewriting skills in preschool children of 56yearold, and provide evidence for early detection and early intervention of inadequate prewriting skills. Methods A total of 63 preschool children aged 56 years were selected by stratified random sampling method to evaluate hand manipulative skills, upper extremity force control and coordination, and hand strength. Results Among the 63 children, 24 were normal(38.1%). There were different degrees of development deficiencies in remainders. The abnormal detection rates of hand manipulative skills, upper extremity force control and coordination, right hand strength, and left hand strength were 3.17%, 11.11%, 0, and 1.59%, respectively. There was no significant difference in prewriting skills between boys and girls(P＞0.05). Conclusion Preschool children have different degrees of deficiencies of prewriting skills, and the highest abnormal detection rate is in upper extremity force control and coordination, which need to pay attention. Targeted instruction and training to help improve hand prewriting skills is necessary.
