How To Use
- Test the dominant hand first. Position the pegboard next to the hand being tested and place the pegs next to the pegboard.
- Perform a non-timed practice test. Have the patient pick up the pegs and place them in the pegboard (one at a time) using the hand being tested. Repeat until all 9 holes are filled. The pegs can be placed in any order.
- Perform a timed test. Repeat the testing method used for the non-timed test, but this time start your timer when the patient touches the first peg. Stop the timer once the last peg hole is filled.
- Reposition the unit next to the non-dominant hand and repeat the timed test.
