Body Position Affects Manual Dexterity
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2006To evaluate the relationship between posture and psychomotor efficiency, 20 anesthesia providers performed a test requiring manual dexterity and eye-hand coordination while seated, kneeling, and standing bent forward at the waist. Performance on the Grooved Pegboard Test improved 6%-10% (P < 0.005) when subjects were seated compared to kneeling and ...

Manual Dexterity in Phenylketonuric Children
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 19683 groups of children (12 phenylketonuric Ss, 12 nonphenylketonuric matched controls, and a normative group of 72 elementary school children) were given a series of 5 manual dexterity tasks. Taken as a group the performance of the phenylketonuric Ss did not differ from their matched controls.

Anxiety, manual dexterity and diver performance
Ergonomics, 1985Abstract The open-sea performance of divers at depth may be substantially lower than would be predicted from dry pressure-chamber simulation studies. This has been attributed to the effects of anxiety. This hypothesis was explored using a land-based study in which the manual dexterity of 32 novice divers was tested using a screwplate test on two ...

Developmental apraxia of speech and manual dexterity
Journal of Communication Disorders, 1981A quantitative test of fine motor function was used to compare the dexterity of the right and left hands of normal children and children with developmental apraxia of speech (DAS). The results suggest that the left cerebral hemisphere of children with DAS is not predominantly impaired in regard to motor control of the upper extremities.
