Purdue pegboard
The Purdue Pegboard Test was originally developed in the 1940s as a test of manipulative dexterity. This product is ideal for professionals seeking reliable, high-quality tools for rehabilitation, therapy, or clinical application.

Features:
  • Now it is the industry standard in measuring the gross movements of hands (hand dexterity), fingers (unimanual and bimanual) and arms as well as finger-tip dexterity
  • The Purdue Pegboard Test has also proved useful in the assessment of motor deficits in both adults and children
  • The test board consists of two parallel rows of 25 holes each
  • Pins (pegs), collars and washers are placed in cups at the top of the testing board
  • Tests are standardized and timed as subjects are tasked with placing as many pegs in the holes as possible within the time limit
  • First with each hand solo and then both hands
  • The next set of tests involves constructing as pegs, washers, collars and another washer are "assembled" in each hole within the time limit
  • The test comes complete with pegboard, 55 pins, 25 collars, 45 washers, instructions, a pad of scoring sheets, an examiner's manual and accepted norms
  • The Purdue Test has also found value in neuropsychological assessments to assist in localizing cerebral lesions and deficits
  • Ideal for company personnel selection for jobs that require the use of hands and fingers, such as assembly line, typists and musicians, for example
  • The Test is considered a useful predictor of daily life functioning as it tests motor ability along with cognitive speed and attentional control
  • Storage of materials is easy
  • Leave pegs, washers and collars in the cups at the top of the board and cover with faceplate, which fits snugly to the board, providing a secure hold
  • As the testing board is constructed of plastic, it's easy to clean with warm soapy water and a damp cloth
