The effect of hand morphometric measurements on the manual dexterity in students of Vocational School of Health Services

Öz:

Purpose: This paper aimed to evaluate the manual dexterity tests and hand morphometry, and to research whether the dexterity tests and hand lengths were affected by gender and body mass index (BMI) or not. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out on 114 adult subjects aged between 18 and 25 years (37 males and 77 females). Demographic characteristics including gender, age, dominant hand, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) of all subjects were recorded. Additionally, hand morphometric measurements and manual dexterity tests called as O’Connor Finger Dexterity Test and Purdue Pegboard Test were applied. Results: Some values such as the hand length (right and left), palmar length (right and left), dominant and non-dominant hand finger, and O’Connor Finger Dexterity Test-Left side showed significant differences between genders. Additionally, O’Connor Finger Dexterity Test scores for both sides were lower in males than in females. Purdue Pegboard-Right, and Purdue Pegboard-Left, Purdue Pegboard-Both Hands, Purdue Pegboard total were higher in males, whereas Purdue Pegboard (Assembly) was higher in females than in males. However, Purdue Pegboard measurement scores did not show a significant difference between genders. Conclusion: Hand morphometric measurements and manual dexterity tests showed some changes in terms of gender and BMI. Additionally, the data obtained can provide crucial information for therapists and clinicians about hand rehabilitation.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, el becerisi testlerini ve el morfometrisini değerlendirmek ve el becerisi testleri ile el uzunluklarının cinsiyet ve beden kitle indeksinden (BKİ) etkilenip etkilenmediğini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma, 18-25 yaş arası 114 sağlıklı yetişkin (37 erkek ve 77 kadın, 18-25 yaş arası) birey üzerinde yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin cinsiyet, yaş, dominant el, boy uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı parametrelerini içeren demografik özellikleri ve BKİ kaydedildi. Ayrıca, el morfometrik ölçümleri ile el beceri testleri olarak adlandırılan O'Connor Parmak Beceri Testi ve Purdue Pegboard Testi uygulandı. Bulgular: El uzunluğu (sağ ve sol), avuç içi uzunluğu (sağ ve sol), dominant ve dominant olmayan el parmağı uzunluğu ve O'Connor Parmak Beceri Testi (sol taraf) cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdi. Ayrıca, O'Connor Parmak Beceri Testi her iki taraf için de erkeklerde kızlara göre daha düşüktü. Purdue Pegboard (assembli) toplamı kadınlarda erkeklerden daha yüksek bulunmasına rağmen, Purdue Pegboard (sağ) ve Purdue Pegboard (sol), Purdue Pegboard (iki el), Purdue Pegboard toplamı erkeklerde daha yüksekti. Fakat, Purdue Pegboard ölçüm puanları cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı farklılık göstermedi. Sonuç: El morfometrik ölçümleri ve el becerisi testleri cinsiyet ve BKİ açısından bazı değişiklikler gösterdi. Ayrıca elde edilen veriler terapistlere ve klinisyenlere el rehabilitasyonu konusunda önemli bilgiler sağlayabilir.
