Pegboard puzzle: a new way to gauge fitness after spinal injury?

This study checks whether a simple six-minute pegboard and ring test is a valid and reliable way to measure upper body exercise capacity in people with spinal cord injury. Researchers will compare the pegboard results with standard strength and function tests in 34 adults who use wheelchairs full-time. The goal is to give doctors and therapists a practical tool to track fitness and guide exercise programs.
