Objective measurements of performance are vital with the increasing necessity to justify the need for occupational therapy services, and to conduct studies that measure the effectiveness of treatment procedures. This paper reports on a measurement of hand skill that was standardized by comparing hand skill performance among the able-bodied, or normal, population. The performance on this test o patients with various types of disabilities and the implications for treatment are discussed. For the paraplegic, the hand skill test indicates the need for occupational therapy services; for the quadriplegic, the test measures the effectiveness of functional orthotic devices; and for the hemiplegic, the hand skill test determines the potential for success in one aspect of self-care, dressing.
随着证明职业治疗服务必要性以及开展衡量治疗程序有效性研究的需求日益增加，对表现进行客观测量至关重要。本文报告了一项手部技能测量，该测量通过比较健全人群或正常人群的手部技能表现进行了标准化。讨论了各类残疾患者在该测试中的表现及其对治疗的影响。对于截瘫患者，手部技能测试表明需要职业治疗服务；对于四肢瘫痪患者，该测试衡量功能性矫形器的有效性；对于偏瘫患者，手部技能测试确定在自我护理的一个方面——穿衣——取得成功的可能性。
