Objective[edit | edit source]

The Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) is used to measure finger dexterity in patients with various neurological diagnoses[1].

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

Patients with Stroke, Brain Injury, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis or other neurological conditions[2].

Example of the equipment

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

Equipment Required:

  • Board (wood or plastic): with 9 holes (10 mm diameter, 15 mm depth), placed apart by 32 mm[3][4] or 50 mm[5].
  • A container for the pegs: square box (100 x 100 x 10 mm) apart from the board or a shallow round dish at the end of the board[6].
  • 9 pegs (7 mm diameter, 32 mm length)[3].
  • A stopwatch.


Description:[2]

  • Instruct the patient to take the pegs from a container, one by one, and place them into the holes on the board, as quickly as possible, using only the hand being evaluated.
  • Then, instruct the patient to remove the pegs from the holes, one by one, and replace them back into the container.
  • The evaluator should start the stopwatch as soon as the patient touches the first peg.
  • The evaluator should stop the stopwatch once the last peg is in the container.


Scoring:

  • The number of seconds it takes for the patient to complete the test.
  • Alternative scoring - the number of pegs placed in 50 or 100 seconds can be recorded. In this case, results are expressed as the number of pegs placed per second.


Example:

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Reliability[edit | edit source]

Test-retest Reliability:

Stroke:
(Chen et al, 2009, Acute and Chronic Stroke) [7]

  • Excellent test-retest reliability for entire group (ICC = 0.85)
  • Adequate test-retest reliability for individuals with hand spasticity (ICC = 0.64). Excellent test-retest reliability for individuals without hand spasticity (ICC = 0.86)


Parkinson's:

(Earhart et al, 2011) [8]

  • Excellent test retest reliability (ICC = 0.88 for dominant hand and ICC = 0.91 for nondominant hand)


Healthy Adults:

(Wang et al 2011; n = 305; mean age = 32 (26); age range = 3 - 85 years) [9]

  • Excellent test retest reliability (ICC = 0.95 for right hand, ICC = 0.92 for left hand)


Interrater/Intrarater Reliability:

Healthy Adults:

(Grice et al, 2003) [6]

  • Excellent interrater reliability for the right hand (r = 0.984) and the left hand (r = 0.993)


Stroke:

(Heller et al, 1987; n = 56; mean age = 72 (9.9) years; assessed < 3 months post-stroke, Acute Stroke) [5]

  • Adequate to excellent intrarater reliability (r = 0.68 to 0.99)
  • Excellent interrater reliability (r = 0.75 to 0.99)


Cerebral Palsy:

(Mendoza-Sánchez et al, 2022)[10]

  • Excellent intra-rater inter-session reliability in patients with spastic unilateral CP

Validity[edit | edit source]

Criterion Validity:

Stroke:
(Sunderland et al, 1989; n = 38; mean age = 67, Acute Stroke) [11]

  • Poor concurrent validity with Frenchay Arm Test: 27% of cases incorrectly classified
  • Poor predictive validity: NHPT administered at 1 month did not predict functional outcomes at 6 months post stroke


Healthy Adults:
(Wang et al, 2011) [9]

  • Adequate correlation with the Purdue Pegboard test (p = -0.74 to -0.75)
  • Excellent correlation with the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (p = -0.87 to -0.89)


Myotonic Dystrophy:

(Cutelle et al, 2018)[12]

  • Found to be a reliable, valid and sensitive test of dexterity in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1.

Construct Validity: 

Stroke:
(Parker et al, 1986; 2 weeks, 3 & 6 months post onset, Acute Stroke) [13]

  • Excellent convergent validity with Motricity Index (r = 0.82)


Healthy children:

(Smith, Hong and Presson, 2000)[14]

  • Adequate concurrent validity for screening fine motor dexterity of school-age children.

Responsiveness[edit | edit source]

Stroke:

(Beebe and Lang, 2009, Acute Stroke) [15]

Responsiveness:
1–3 months 1–6 months
Grip 0.50 0.65
Pinch 0.52 0.56
ARAT 0.55 0.63
9HPT 0.52 0.66
SIS-Hand 1.02 0.86

Responsiveness was calculated using the single population effect size method. Values closer to 1.00 = more responsive to change. Low responsiveness < 0.20; moderate responsiveness < 0.50, and high responsiveness < 0.80
