Handwriting movement analysis

Handwriting movement analysis is like figuring out how someone writes their letters from start to finish. Just like when you draw pictures, you move your hand in different ways to make the lines and shapes you need.

When someone writes, their hand makes different movements and shapes depending on the letters they're making. So, people who study handwriting movement analysis look at things like the way someone holds their pen or pencil, the pressure they use when writing, and the way they form each letter to figure out things about that person's writing style.

This can help people figure out things like if someone might have written a particular document or letter, or even help doctors understand more about someone's brain and motor skills. But it all starts with looking very closely at how someone writes!
