Accurate assessment of in-hand manipulation is imperative when treating children with fine motor delays. A clinically suitable instrument for in-hand manipulation is required to inform the paediatric developmental and rehabilitation context. Critical evaluation of the available instrument is required to make an informed decision and direct future research. The aim of the study was to assess the available literature with a view to writing a scoping review on in-hand manipulation assessment instruments for children.
The Arskey and O'Malley six-stage scoping review was applied. Fifteen databases were sourced for articles published between 1 January 1990 and 31 December 2020. After identifying 33 eligible articles that met the inclusion criteria, the data obtained from the articles were charted.
Eleven in-hand manipulation assessment instruments were identified and summarised according to (i) the constructs of in-hand manipulation included; (ii) clinical utility aspects of applicability and practicality and (iii) psychometric properties.
At the time of the review, none of the instruments had comprehensively completed the instrument development process to the point of standardisation with evaluated psychometric properties. Further research is recommended for the development of a gold standard in-hand manipulation assessment instrument.
在治疗有精细运动发育迟缓的儿童时，准确评估手中操作能力至关重要。需要一种临床上适用的手中操作评估工具，为儿科发育和康复情况提供依据。需要对现有工具进行批判性评估，以便做出明智的决定并指导未来的研究。本研究的目的是评估现有文献，以期撰写一篇关于儿童手中操作评估工具的范围综述。
采用阿斯基和奥马利的六阶段范围综述法。检索了15个数据库，查找1990年1月1日至2020年12月31日期间发表的文章。在确定了33篇符合纳入标准的合格文章后，对从这些文章中获得的数据进行了制表。
识别出11种手中操作评估工具，并根据以下方面进行了总结：（i）所包含的手中操作结构；（ii）适用性和实用性等临床效用方面；（iii）心理测量特性。
在进行综述时，没有一种工具全面完成工具开发过程并达到具有评估心理测量特性的标准化程度。建议进一步开展研究，以开发一种金标准的手中操作评估工具。
