Improvements on the Virtual Eggs Test to Assess Hand Dexterity
摘要
Assessing the function of the hand is crucial to select the proper rehabilitation therapy as well as monitor the recovery progress. Therefore, many tests have been developed and validated for assessing the hand dexterity. The Virtual Eggs Test differs from the other tests due to its ability to assess dexterity considering not only the speed in performing the task but also the accuracy in regulating the grasping force. Here, we present the modifications to the Virtual Eggs Test involving both the components and the protocol made to improve both its performance and usability. The ongoing clinical trials and future studies will validate the Virtual Eggs Test as an innovative assessment tool to evaluate fine and gross dexterity independently to the pathology.
