“…As expected, we observed a gradual improvement of digital dexterity with age, similar to previous studies (Costa et al 1964;Gardner and Broman 1979;Wilson et al 1982;Arnould et al n.d.). As previously described, the performance on the PPT increased until stabilizing at the age of 10 years (Costa et al 1964;Arnould et al n.d.).…”

The aim of this study was to determine whether tactile spatial resolution and digital dexterity performance are associated during childhood. A total of 104 healthy children (52 boys and 52 girls) were assessed. The tactile spatial resolution threshold was determined using an enlarged set of JVP domes with a procedure adapted for children. Digital dexterity was tested with the Purdue Pegboard Test. While tactile spatial resolution and digital dexterity improved with age following a parallel evolution, no correlation was found between the scores of the children for both tests. We suggest that central maturational processes are responsible for a global refinement of sensory and motor function between the ages of 4 and 10 years, reaching the range of adult values at this age.

“…Children inserted thin 1-inch pegs into 2 vertical rows of holes, with right, left, and both hands, each trial for 30 seconds. Their scores were compared with 2 sets of norms, either of younger children, aged 2.5 to Ͻ6 years, 49 or of older children, aged 5 to Ͻ16 years. 50 The scores were converted into z scores with a mean of 0 and an SD of 1.…”

Neuropsychological Functioning and Viral Load in Stable Antiretroviral Therapy-Experienced HIV-Infected Children

et al. 2005

Poor neuropsychological functioning was seen for HIV-infected children and was worse for children with higher viral loads. Only 1 measure of neuropsychological functioning showed improvement after treatment with PI-containing combination therapy, and the extent of that improvement was relatively minor. Treatment strategies for children with HIV disease need to be reevaluated so that they consider restoration of neuropsychological functioning in addition to lowering the viral load.

“…The Purdue Pegboard Assessment, a popularly utilized diagnostic tool for measuring the movements of a person's fingers, hands and arms was used to measure the baseline for participant dexterity levels [18][19][20][21][22]. Four tests from the Purdue Pegboard assessment were used in this study.…”

Background: A mobile health system called iMHere (interactive Mobile Health and Rehabilitation) was developed to support individuals with chronic conditions and disability in their self-management regimens. The initial design of iMHere, however, lacked sufficient accessibility for users with a myriad of dexterity impairments. The accessibility of self-management apps is essential in ensuring usability. Objective: This study aims to increase the usability of the iMHere system for users with dexterity impairments by increasing the app's accessibility. Methods: We targeted accessibility redesign by focusing on the physical presentation and the navigability of the iMHere apps. Six participants presenting with dexterity impairments were included in the usability study of the original and redesigned apps. Results: We report a trend toward a lower number of touches needed to complete tasks (p=0.088) and time to complete individual tasks (p=0.057) in the redesigned app compared to the original app. Significantly lower time for users to complete all tasks (p=0.006) and significantly lower error rate (p=0.013) was seen with use of the redesigned app compared to the original app. In fact, no errors occurred with use of the redesigned app. Participant-reported overall average usability of the redesigned app (p=0.007) and usability of individual modules (p<0.001) were significantly higher than that of the original app due mostly to better ease of use and learnability, interface quality, and reliability. Conclusion: Improved usability was achieved with the use of a redesigned app. This study offers insight regarding the importance of personalization in enhancing accessibility and also identifies strategies for improving usability in app development.
