Summary

The aim of the research study is to find out how the results of healthy women aged 20-24 years (inclusive) differ in the Nine Peg Test, the Purdue Pegboard Test and the Box and Block Test, depending on the laterality of the research participants and the order of the performed subtests of the investigated tests. In this way, it will be preliminarily determined whether it is necessary to create normative data separately for right-handed and left-handed people for the tests.

Detailed description

Research participants will be tested in one meeting after giving informed consent, answering a few short questions regarding health status and filling out a short questionnaire using the Czech extended version of the manual for all three standardized tests, and always according to a predetermined order. Intentionally, all research participants with a dominant right upper limb will be tested as if they were left-handed, and vice versa. The results of the research participants tested in this way will be compared with the results of women from the same age category who have already been properly tested as part of an ongoing research study entitled: "Establishing Czech Norms of Selected Standardized Tests".
