Area of Science:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Human Movement Science
  • Ergonomics

Background:

  • Arm activities are crucial for daily life and involve accessory respiratory muscles.
  • Increased load on these muscles during arm elevation can cause fatigue and dyspnea.
  • The six-minute peg board and ring test assesses upper limb impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish reference values for the six-minute peg board and ring test in a healthy Indian population (20-70 years).
  • To investigate correlations between test performance and anthropometric measures, muscle strength, and physical activity levels.

Main Methods:

  • 450 healthy participants (20-70 years) performed the six-minute peg board and ring test.
  • Measurements included arm length, circumferences, shoulder/elbow flexor-extensor strength, and grip strength.
  • Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Reference values were established for different age groups and genders.
  • Age and upper limb strength variables showed a significant correlation with test scores (p<0.05 and p=0.001, respectively).
  • No significant correlation was found with arm length, circumference, or physical activity levels.

Conclusions:

  • Reference values for the six-minute peg board and ring test were successfully derived for the study population.
  • Age and strength are key factors influencing performance in this test.
