Product Description
The 9-hole
peg test kit is an assessment tool for testing fine motor coordination in
recovering patients. The one-piece design features a molded dish, a 9-hole peg
board, and a stopwatch.
Who Is This Ideal For?
The 9-hole peg test kit is most
often used by doctors and physical therapists to test the dexterity of clients
and patients who are recovering from surgery or may be exhibiting problems
related to motor control, including occupation-related overuse injuries. The
test may also help diagnose certain neurocognitive disorders.
Why Use the Test Kit?
This 9-hole peg test kit is an all-in-one device that is
built using sturdy, durable parts. The placement of the dish and pegboard
allows for an easy, consistent reach, which ensures proper results during the
evaluation procedure. Thanks to the design and materials, the kit is also easy
to clean and maintain, allowing for quick and easy disinfection to prevent any
contamination.
The test is simple to perform. Using their unaffected hand,
the patient places each peg from the dish into a hole. Once all the holes are
filled, the patient then removes each peg and places them back in the dish.
This helps the patient understand how to properly do the test. Once completed,
the healthcare professional records the time, and the patient repeats the test
with the affected hand.
Who Should Not Use This Product?
While this test is similar to the Purdue Pegboard test,
which also measures dexterity, the 9-hole peg test is easier to administer,
especially to kids. The Purdue test has a longer administration time and was
initially designed for selecting employees for certain industrial occupations.
This involved more complicated dexterity tasks and greater fine motor
precision, making the Purdue Pegboard test unsuitable for children and older
patients. The 9-hole peg test’s simplicity, efficiency, and reliability make it
a good test that can be administered to patients of all ages and backgrounds.

This hand testing kit is easy to understand for patients and
gives accurate feedback for practitioners. It is designed to test and develop
an individual’s fine motor skills or help diagnose neurocognitive disorders.
This is accomplished with timed hand-eye coordination tests that gauge hand
dexterity and control.
Testing Method
Testing is simple and easy: Have the patient place all of
the pegs into the holes and then have them remove the pegs into the built-in
dish. This can be done with a weak hand and strong hand to test relative
capabilities or compared to standards for overall measurements.
Neurological and Physiological Tests
physical deficiency testing. It is ideal for testing stroke victims or
individuals who have suffered recent hand trauma.
