Fine motor integration is the degree to which visual perception and finger hand movements are well coordinated. Through integration of visual input and motor output motor tasks are planned, monitored, adjusted and executed. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, 2nd edition, is a pediatric test of fine motor and gross motor skills. It is an individually administered test that uses goal directed activities to measure motor skills in individuals ages 4 through 21. A study was conducted among 516 number of students from English as well as Marathi medium schools. After assessing the fine motor integration in the study population it was found that as the age increases the fine motor integration also increases and it is more in male children than that of female children.
