Abstract

Background: Human body is formed of symmetric bilateral structures that are comprised of eye, upper arm, lower arm and etc. but, we are used only dominant components. The purpose of this study was to analysis length cognition ability in dominant eye.
Methods: Total 88 persons (male 18, female 70) were participated in this study. They were tested with ‘hole in the card’ test for identification of dominant eye’s side, then the length cognition ability was measured in right & left axillary level by describing 10cm line.
Results: The results by independent t-test were as follows. In difference of length cognition ability in right axillary level between right dominant eyed group & left dominant eyed group, right dominant eyed group was superior to left dominant eyed group, but significant difference was not existed statistically(p>.05). In left axillary level, right dominant eyed group was superior to left dominant eyed group, but significant difference was not existed statistically(p>.05).
Conclusion: These result can be applied to the learning of palpation & observation skill in physical therapy, although this study was not identify a relation between dominant eye & dominant hand.
