A novel tablet-based application for assessment of manual dexterity and its components: a reliability and validity study in healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We developed five tablet-based tasks (applications) to measure multiple components of manual dexterity.

Aim

to test reliability and validity of tablet-based dexterity measures in healthy participants.

Methods

Tasks included: (1) Finger recognition to assess mental rotation capacity. The subject taps with the finger indicated on a virtual hand in three orientations (reaction time, correct trials). (2) Rhythm tapping to evaluate timing of finger movements performed with, and subsequently without, an auditory cue (inter-stimulus interval). (3) Multi-finger tapping to assess independent finger movements (reaction time, correct trials, unwanted finger movements). (4) Sequence tapping to assess production and memorization of visually cued finger sequences (succes
