Kinetic-Link Patterns, Congenital Blindness and Batting.

Skaggs, S. O.; And Others

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v88 n6 p564-67 Nov-Dec 1994

This study compared the batting swing of two skilled congenitally blind beep baseball players to a perfect kinetic-link model for the batting skill. It found that the subjects used a modified batting technique and that there was an inverse relationship between the subjects' performances and the kinetic-link model. (Author)
