Testing intrinsic function in the past has been primarily via coordination tests such as the Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Tests, Purdue Pegboard Test, Valpar Work Sample, The Crawford, to name a few. Typically as therapists we will use exercise putty and various techniques in the clinic to strengthen these important functional muscles of the hand. However, measuring the strength of these muscles has been very limited and time-consuming. This author has devised an instrument to test the strength of these muscles. Although, there are studies that need to be done to test the validity of the piece of equipment, it would appear to have great use clinically and could possibly have significant potential in recording objective data for research purposes.
过去对内在功能的测试主要是通过协调性测试，比如明尼苏达操作速度测试、普渡钉板测试、瓦尔帕工作样本测试、克劳福德测试等等。通常作为治疗师，我们会在诊所使用练习用的橡皮泥和各种技术来增强手部这些重要的功能肌肉。然而，测量这些肌肉的力量一直非常有限且耗时。本文作者设计了一种仪器来测试这些肌肉的力量。虽然，还需要进行一些研究来测试该设备的有效性，但它在临床上似乎有很大用途，并且可能在为研究目的记录客观数据方面具有巨大潜力。
