This study gathered preliminary Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) data from healthy adults. Findings show no significant differences in timed tasks by sex or hand, but men were stronger in strength tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Human Motor Control

Background:

  • The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) is a key assessment tool.
  • Establishing normative data is crucial for clinical interpretation.
  • Limited data exists for able-bodied populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To collect initial normative data for the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) in healthy, able-bodied adults.
  • To provide a baseline for future research and clinical applications of the WMFT.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional cohort study was conducted in a clinical research laboratory.
  • Fifty-one healthy, right-hand dominant adults aged 40-79 participated.
  • The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) was administered once.

Main Results:

  • Mean data for all WMFT timed and strength tasks were analyzed.
  • No significant differences were found in timed tasks based on hand dominance or sex.
  • Men demonstrated significantly greater strength in two specific WMFT tasks compared to women.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary normative data for the WMFT in able-bodied adults are presented.
  • Further research is required to refine normative estimates.
  • Additional data are needed to explore the influence of sex, age, and hand dominance on WMFT performance.
