Abstract

This study investigated the frequency of left-handedness (left hand dominance) among the Igbos of South Eastern Nigeria. It was related to sex and age. Questionnaires, interview and observations were the research instruments used in this study. The study involved 2794 subjects. The frequency of left handedness was found to be 4.72%. Males were found to be more left-handed with increasing age. All these observations were statistically significant.
