The impact of pencil grasp on handwriting has been a topic of investigation since the 1940’s. Assessment of the handwriting skills in the form of speed fluency, mechanical fluency and its correlation with pencil grip pattern was done in the present study. 102 medical students were evaluated for mechanical and speed fluency in writing. Four types of pencil grips were recognised which include dynamic tripod, lateral tripod, dynamic quadrupeod, lateral quadrupod in the study. Dynamic tripod grip pattern was most common grip type used by students to write but contrary to the previous belief that dynamic tripod is an ideal grip when correlated to handwriting skills like mechanical and speed fluency present study shows that both this skills has shown highest score with dynamic quadrupod grip. So further evaluation on grip type and effect on writing can be studied in kinematic fashion using advance methodology.
