"Objectives: Hand dexterity encompasses three basic elements: spacing, grading and timing. However, no evaluation method simultaneously addresses all three elements. In 1998, development of a new apparatus was begun, and an initial prototype was completed in 1999. In a previous study, it was noted that the apparatus needed improvement. Modifications were initiated in 2003, and completed in 2004. Interrater reliability and test-retest reliability of this modified apparatus were examined. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-seven healthy subjects participated in the study. Of the total of 54 hands, three were excluded from the study due to data deficiency. All subjects were evaluated simultaneously by two faculty researchers to determine interrater reliability, and then reevaluated by the same researchers about one week later to determine test-retest reliability. Results: The results for interrater reliability showed significant reliability for grading and timing, but not spacing. In test-retest reliability, significant reliability was found for timing, but not spacing and grading. Conclusions: This study indicated that the modified apparatus was not completely reliable. This is consistent with the difference in relative difficulty of each element. It is important that time intervals are set based on the subjects' abilities. At the same time, it is necessary to initiate clinical studies which include actual patients in the sample."
