Tests are carried out in a variety of situations, including occupational therapy in HAVS Health Surveillance, pre-employment screening for jobs which require manual dexterity, vocational evaluations, physical therapy and most notably injury rehabilitation.
The Purdue Pegboard test assesses the gross movements in the fingers, hands and arms, as well as the fine fingertip dexterity which is often necessary in assembly tasks. Over time, changes to a baseline measurement can be used to chart progress in recovery from injury or the onset of a disability.
Using the Purdue Pegboard
Tests are run when you use the Purdue Pegboard along with a set of pins, washers and collars. The subjects are required to run through a series of timed tests where they place the pins into the pegboard using one hand and then the other.
