Background: The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is a simple, quick assessment often used by occupational therapists to assess finger dexterity.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to standardize the NHPT in Bangladesh so Bangladeshi therapists can administer and interpret this test with relevant cultural norms.
Method: This study includes an inter-rater reliability (IRR) study and a normative study with Bangladeshi participants.
Results: In the IRR study, four raters were placed into 6 teams of two to establish reliability between individuals in each team. Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) results showed a high inter-rater reliability with ICC average ratings of 0.882-0.998 between individual raters of each team. Culturally relevant norms were developed for the NHPT using a sample of 180 participants (females, n=90 and males, n=90) ranging in age from 18 to 60 years. The data from the 1st trials were analyzed between age categories of both 5 and 10-year increments. Normative data was found to be clinically significant across collapsed age groups: 18-39, 40-49, and 50-60 years of age for each gender.
Conclusion: These age categories were used to standardize the NHPT in Bangladesh, making it a culturally relevant finger dexterity test for the Bangladeshi population.

Background And Purpose: A preventative model of physical therapy (PT) care to promote activity and minimize mobility loss with aging is not routine. Performance testing and patient education are recommended to increase the perceived value of results to inform health decision-making. This study evaluated (1) the Single Leg Stance (SLS) test for an annual visit based on a priori criteria and (2) the effect of education on the perceived value of SLS and walking speed test results as health indicators.

These models capture lifespan trajectories and inter-individual variation in fractional anisotropy (FA), a marker of white matter integrity. By addressing non-Gaussian data distributions, race, and site effects, the models offer reference baselines across diverse ages, ethnicities, and scanning conditions.
