ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how handedness, or whether someone is right-handed or left-handed, affects the performance of healthy women in certain motor skill tests. The tests being studied are the Nine Peg Test, Purdue Pegboard Test, and the Box and Block Test. Researchers want to see if the order in which these tests are performed also makes a difference. The goal is to find out if we need different standard measurements for right-handed and left-handed individuals.

To participate in this study, you need to be a healthy woman aged 20 to 24 who speaks Czech as your first language. Unfortunately, if you have any conditions that affect your hand movements, vision that can't be corrected with glasses, or other serious issues that make it hard to understand instructions or read, you won't be able to join. If you're eligible, you can expect to complete a series of tests that measure how well you can use your hands and fingers. It's important to know that you'll need to provide consent to participate, which means you agree to take part in the study and allow researchers to collect and process your personal information.
