Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychometrics
  • Developmental Disabilities

Background:

  • Hand apraxia is a motor disorder affecting skilled movements.
  • Accurate assessment is crucial for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
  • Existing assessment tools may not be suitable for this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a scale for assessing hand apraxia.
  • To evaluate the scale's reliability and validity in institutionalized adults with intellectual disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel assessment scale for hand apraxia.
  • Application of Guttman scaling techniques.
  • Inclusion of 239 institutionalized adults with intellectual disabilities.
