Background:

Digital tools are emerging for dynamic balance assessment.
The utility of computerized wobble boards (WB) for eye-hand coordination is unexplored.
This study investigates WB for upper limb fine motor skills.

Purpose of the Study:

Assess the inter-test reliability and concurrent validity of WB for fine motor skills.
Compare WB performance with the Grooved Pegboard test (GPT).
Propose WB as a potential alternative to the GPT.

Main Methods:

Fifty-three healthy participants performed WB and GPT tests.
WB involved moving a marker within a target zone following specific patterns.
Performance measured by time marker stayed within the zone; retest after 48 hours.

Main Results:

WB demonstrated good to excellent reliability (ICC: 0.62-0.80).
Acceptable Standard Error of Measurement (SEM: 0.96-2.14 s) and minimal detectable change (MDC95: 1.90-4.25 s) were found.
Moderate to strong correlations (r = -0.30 to -0.54) between WB and GPT outcomes.

Conclusions:

Computerized wobble boards (WB) are reliable and valid for assessing eye-hand coordination.
WB shows potential as an alternative tool for fine motor skill assessment.
Further validation in clinical settings is recommended.
