After adapting Jebssen's Test of Hand Function to Australian conditions, this study investigated his claim of no significant difference in hand performance among participants younger than 60 years, and determined whether age might be a factor when associated with sex. The method was to test 383 subjects of both sexes in 6 age groups. A 2-factor analysis with age and sex as factors yielded significant differences (p less than 0.01) for "grip strength" "manipulating small objects," and "moving large heavy objects," and indications of significance (p less than 0.05) for "card turning" and "moving large light objects." The sex factor showed males to be significantly better "grip strength," in "moving large heavy objects," and "large light objects," except in the 66-99 age interval where females were significantly better on teh last 2 variables. Females performed better on "writing" and were generally better in "manipulating small objects." These results suggest that the one set of norms given by Jebsen for 60 years and less for each sex, should be replaced by 5 or more, even though the differences were quite small when standard deviations were considered.
在将杰布森手部功能测试调整至澳大利亚的情况后，本研究调查了他所声称的60岁及以下参与者手部表现无显著差异这一说法，并确定年龄与性别相关时是否可能是一个因素。方法是对6个年龄组的383名男女受试者进行测试。以年龄和性别为因素的双因素分析得出，在“握力”“操作小物体”和“移动大而重的物体”方面存在显著差异（p小于0.01），在“翻纸牌”和“移动大而轻的物体”方面有显著迹象（p小于0.05）。性别因素显示，男性在“握力”、“移动大而重的物体”和“大而轻的物体”方面明显更好，但在66 - 99岁年龄区间，女性在后两个变量上明显更好。女性在“书写”方面表现更好，并且在“操作小物体”方面总体上更好。这些结果表明，杰布森给出的针对60岁及以下男女各一套的标准，应该被五套或更多套标准所取代，尽管考虑标准差时差异相当小。
