9HPT/Evidence
Method evidence record

9HPT

The Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) is a brief, quantitative, performance-based measure of fine motor hand dexterity and coordination. Developed by Mathiowetz and colleagues (1985) at the University of Minnesota, the 9HPT is one of the simplest and most widely used screening tests for hand function, particularly finger dexterity. The 9HPT is used across occupational therapy, hand therapy, neurology, and rehabilitation medicine to measure fine motor function in conditions affecting dexterity: hand injury, arthritis, neurological disease (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, stroke), cumulative trauma, and post-surgical hand recovery.
