Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI), sometimes referred to as the Edinburgh Handedness Questionnaire (EHQ), was developed by Richard Charles Oldfield in 1971 to quantitatively ascertain the hand laterality of the subject in activities of daily living (ADL).[1]
Intended population[edit | edit source]
It has been used in a wide variety of subjects.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The 20-item questionnaire contains instructions to be followed during administration. Items are rated either by direct observation or by self-report.[1] A more commonly used shorter 10-item version was developed in 2014.[2] There is controversy surrounding its use in research due to the existence of multiple variations of the tool and improper understanding of the original test instructions.[3][4]
Scoring[edit | edit source]
There are two methods of scoring the questionnaire:
- Laterality Quotient
- Laterality Score
