Table 1 Comparison of Acuity (percentage of time on black line) and Speed (mm/s) mean (standard deviation) values between the dominant and the non-dominant hand in dorsal and palmar movement directions
From: A new clinical test for sensorimotor function of the hand – development and preliminary validation
Dominant vs nondominant hand movements | Acuity % | p-value | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|---|
Dominant hand in dorsal direction | 72.7 (10.3) | < 0.001 | 3.3–8.6 |
Non-dominant hand in dorsal direction | 66.8 (10.1) | ||
Dominant hand in palmar direction | 73.6 (11.6) | < 0.001 | 2.4–6.1 |
Non-dominant hand in palmar direction | 69.3 (10.8) | ||
Speed mm/s | |||
Dominant hand in dorsal direction | 54.1 (21.3) | 0.966 | −4.5–5.7 |
Non-dominant hand in dorsal direction | 54.0 (22.0) | ||
Dominant hand in palmar direction | 57.0 (21.8) | 0.044 | 0.1–6.7 |
Non-dominant hand in palmar direction | 53.5 (20.6) |
