Background Atypical motor functioning is prevalent in children with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD). Knowledge of the underlying kinematic properties of these problems is sparse. Aims …

Numerous studies have underscored prevalence of motor impairments in children with
autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but only few of them have analyzed motor strategies …

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders.
Although not a diagnostic feature, motor impairments have been recently acknowledged as …

The study was aimed at better clarifying whether action execution impairment in autism
depends mainly on disruptions either in feedforward mechanisms or in feedback-based …

During development, motor skills are fundamental in supporting interactions with the
