The finger tapping test (FTT) is a neuropsychological test that measures motor speed and coordination. It involves tapping a designated surface with a specific finger as quickly as possible for a certain duration. Touchscreen of smartphones has been used as interface to record the tap, what enables to extract information about the taps. The present study represents an initiative of construction for a national Database of Smartphone-Based FTT, which includes data from 176 healthy male and female adults ranging in age from 18 to 74 years. Participants were asked to perform the FTT using one or both hands, tapping on a central area of a smartphone as many times as possible within a 30-second interval. Data were extracted using an Android application, encompassing details such as touch timing, spatial coordinates, sex, smartphone model, hand used, and age. A Python-developed web visualization tool for individual and averaged analysis. This database serves as informative foundation for a healthy adult sample and supports further exploration and international comparative analyses of FTT performance.
指节敲击测试(FTT)是一种神经心理学测试,用于测量运动速度和协调性。它要求测试者以最快速度用特定手指敲击指定表面,持续特定时长。智能手机的触屏被用作记录敲击的界面,这使得我们能够提取关于敲击的信息。本研究代表了构建基于智能手机的 FTT 国家数据库的一项倡议,该数据库包含了来自 176 名健康男性和女性成年人的数据,年龄在 18 岁至 74 岁之间。参与者被要求使用一只或两只手进行 FTT,在 30 秒的时间内尽可能多地在智能手机的中央区域敲击。数据是使用一个 Android 应用程序提取的,其中包括触摸时间、空间坐标、性别、智能手机型号、使用的手以及年龄等详细信息。还开发了一个基于 Python 的用于个体和平均分析的网络可视化工具。该数据库为健康成年人样本提供了信息基础,并支持对 FTT 性能的进一步探索和国际比较分析。
