The Grooved pegboardtest has been used to evaluate dexterity requring visual-motor coordination.

Subjects were stratified accordingto gender and dominant hand and were subdivided into six groups by blocking. The results ofthis study were as follows: 1) There was a significant difference in completion time betweendominant and nondominant hand in both men and women groups (p<.05). 2) There were significantdifferences in completion time between men and women group (p<.05) 3) There were significantdifferences in completion time among age groups (p<.05).
