Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe the current state of field diagnostics of motor manifestations of laterality and cerebral dominance, to show which diagnostic tools are used and what their weaknesses are. It was discovered that the questionnaire which is often created only for adult population is the most frequent tool. There is hardly ever scientifically elaborated methodology and reasoned diagnostic quality of these tools. Motor tests focusing on the comparability of performance and the quality of a motor task in two similar motive organs are only used to limited extend. Due to the complexity of functional asymmetry of cerebral hemispheres, the authors suppose to that the questionnaire preference method can only be regarded as a rough estimate of the real cerebral dominance.
