Manual dexterity and successful hearing aid use

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2000
Fine dexterity of the hand might be expected to correlate with the successful use of a hearing aid. In this study, the manual dexterity of 30 individuals between 65 and 85 years using a hearing aid was tested by the Purdue pegboard test and the result was compared to the benefit obtained from the use of a hearing aid assessed by a questionnaire.

An Investigation of Finger and Manual Dexterity

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2000
In ergonomics, handgrip has been perceived as one of the most important hand functions; however, other types of functions of the hand are also important to the ergonomist, such as finger and manual dexterity, on which few ergonomic studies have been done.

Parallel pathways mediating manual dexterity in the macaque

Experimental Brain Research, 1999
Transmission of information along appropriately structured parallel pathways ensures that a great deal of information can be transferred from the source to the target very quickly, and with great security-essential features of any motor control system.

MANUAL DEXTERITY: HOW DOES THE CEREBRAL CORTEX CONTRIBUTE?

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1996
SUMMARY1. Manual dexterity, of great evolutionary significance to the primates, ranges in complexity from the precise opposition of finger and thumb to Brendal playing Mozart. All dexterity depends on a sustained and rapid transfer of sensorimotor information between the cerebral cortex and the cervical spinal cord.2.

Tactile perception and manual dexterity in computer users

Somatosensory & Motor Research, 2002
Recent studies suggest that sensory input generated during highly repetitive tasks can degrade the sensory representation of the hand and eventually lead to sensory and motor problems. In this study, we investigated whether early changes in tactile perception and manual dexterity could be detected in persons exposed to computer tasks.

Physical Understanding of Manual Dexterity

1998
One of the great challenges to robotics research in the next century is to design mechanical robots that can imitate human behavior. Manual dexterity is one of intelligent human behaviors generated unconsciously with sensory-motor organization in the central nervous system.

Manual Dexterity Predictors of Artificial Urinary Sphincter Success

Urology
To determine better in-office measures for artificial urinary sphincter outcomes, we investigated the ability of preoperative timed peg-transfer, pinch strength, grip strength, and Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand Outcome questionnaire in predicting postoperative satisfaction, confidence, and ease of use of artificial urinary sphincter ...
