Finger dexterity tests are generally used to assess performance decrease due to gloves, cold and pathology. It is generally assumed that the O'Connor and Purdue Pegboard test yield similar results. In this experiment we compared these two tests for dry conditions without gloves, and for dry and wet conditions with two types of Nytril gloves. In line with previous observations, wearing gloves caused a decrease in performance of about 12% for the O'Connor test and 9% for the Purdue test. Wetting the gloves prior to the test had no effect on the Purdue score. However, wetting the gloves increased the O'Connor performance significantly by 11%. The results show that the O'Connor and Purdue tests do not yield similar results and should be used selectively for specific tasks.
手指灵活性测试通常用于评估因手套、寒冷和病理状况导致的操作能力下降。一般认为奥康纳和普渡钉板测试会得出相似的结果。在本实验中,我们比较了这两种测试在不戴手套的干燥条件下,以及佩戴两种类型的奈特里尔手套的干燥和潮湿条件下的情况。与之前的观察结果一致,戴手套使奥康纳测试的操作能力下降了约12%,普渡测试下降了9%。在测试前弄湿手套对普渡测试得分没有影响。然而,弄湿手套使奥康纳测试的操作能力显著提高了11%。结果表明,奥康纳测试和普渡测试不会得出相似的结果,应根据具体任务选择性使用。
