Fine motor skills and handwriting performance of both groups were evaluated pre–post-intervention using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2nd Edition (BOT-2) and Minnesota Handwriting Assessment (MHA) tests. The intervention group received fine motor skills training through telerehabilitation for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 40 min each session (totalling 24 sessions). The control group was placed on a waiting list for 8 weeks and did not receive any intervention. Statistical methods analysed changes within and between groups pre–post-intervention.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In the intervention group, intra-group change pre–post-intervention was observed in all subdomains of MHA except legibility (<i>p</i> < 0.05).
