Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Standard hand function capacity evaluations can be time-consuming.
  • Developing efficient assessment protocols is crucial for clinical practice.
  • Validating shortened protocols ensures diagnostic accuracy and patient convenience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a more efficient, shortened protocol for hand function capacity evaluation.
  • To assess the agreement between the proposed shortened protocol and the existing standard protocol.
  • To determine the optimal number of trials for various hand function tests within the shortened protocol.

Main Methods:

  • 643 healthy subjects participated in hand function tests.
  • Two shortened protocols were developed by statistically reducing trials from the original protocol.
  • Agreement was assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) and Limits of Agreement (LoA).

Main Results:

  • Excellent ICCs (≥0.91) were found for most shortened protocols.
  • A two-trial protocol is recommended for Tip Pinch Strength, Palmar Pinch Strength, and Purdue Pegboard tests due to considerable LoA.
  • A one-trial protocol is recommended for Hand Grip Strength, Key Pinch Strength, and the Complete Minnesota Dexterity Test due to acceptable LoA.

Conclusions:

  • The developed shorter hand function evaluation protocol is a reliable measure for healthy subjects.
  • Specific trial recommendations (one or two) are provided for different hand function tests to ensure accurate capacity assessment.
  • Further validation in patient populations with disabling conditions is recommended before widespread clinical adoption.
