Equipment Required:
Board (wood or plastic): with 9 holes (10 mm diameter, 15 mm depth), placed apart by 32 mm[3][4] or 50 mm[5].
A container for the pegs: square box (100 x 100 x 10 mm) apart from the board or a shallow round dish at the end of the board[6].
9 pegs (7 mm diameter, 32 mm length)[3].
A stopwatch.
Description:[2]
Instruct the patient to take the pegs from a container, one by one, and place them into the holes on the board, as quickly as possible, using only the hand being evaluated.
Then, instruct the patient to remove the pegs from the holes, one by one, and replace them back into the container.
The evaluator should start the stopwatch as soon as the patient touches the first peg.
The evaluator should stop the stopwatch once the last peg is in the container.
Scoring:
The number of seconds it takes for the patient to complete the test.
Alternative scoring - the number of pegs placed in 50 or 100 seconds can be recorded. In this case, results are expressed as the number of pegs placed per second.
