Brief Summary

The aim of the research study is to find out how the results of healthy women aged 20-24 years (inclusive) differ in the Nine Peg Test, the Purdue Pegboard Test and the Box and Block Test, depending on the laterality of the research participants and the order of the performed subtests of the investigated tests. In this way, it will be preliminarily determined whether it is necessary to create normative data separately for right-handed and left-handed people for the tests.

Interventions

Nine Hole Peg Test, Purdue Pegboard Test, Box and Block Test DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Research participants were tested in one meeting after giving informed consent, answering a few short questions regarding health status and filling out a short questionnaire using the Czech extended version of the manual for the Nine Hole Peg Test, Purdue Pegboard Test and Box and Block Test, and always according to a predetermined order. Intentionally, all research participants from experimental group with a dominant right upper limb will be tested as if they were left-handed, and vice versa. All research participants from normative study were tested normally according to the Czech extended manuals for those tests.
