Left vs. right: does handedness skew dexterity test results?

NCT ID NCT05661617

First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether being right- or left-handed changes how healthy women aged 20 to 24 perform on three common hand dexterity tests: the Nine Hole Peg Test, Purdue Pegboard Test, and Box and Block Test. Researchers will test each participant using their non-dominant hand first to see if separate scoring standards are needed for left- and right-handed people. The goal is to improve accuracy when these tests are used to assess hand function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If results show clear differences, this could lead to separate reference standards for right- and left-handed people in hand function tests.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study in a narrow age group and sex, so findings may not apply to men, older adults, or people with hand conditions.
