Method of measurement: The O'Connor Tweezer Dexterity Test will be used to check fine finger movements. This device is a valid and widely used manual dexterity test. It is used by rehabilitation professionals to assess progress in the recovery of hand and finger function, as well as to assess fine motor skills. The O'Connor Dexterity Test simply requires the user to pick up pins with the provided tweezers and insert them into a series of holes. A high score on this test indicates manual aptitude for tasks that involve the use of small precision tools such as clock assembly.	—
