Abstract
The Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT) is a manual dexterity test that requires the manipulation of pegs, washers, and collars. Our population for this research intervention focused on the geriatric community due to the lack of recent available normative data. Much of the existing data was collected using the Purdue Pegboard model 32020 which is no longer available for purchase. Our objective was to gather normative data for community-dwelling seniors. The purpose of this study was to provide updated normative data for hand therapists to use in clinical practice to determine if seniors have dexterity deficits.
