Details and patient eligibility

About

The study involving healthy participants aims to validate the Virtual Eggs Test (VET) as a tool for measuring hand dexterity and grip force control. This part of the study focuses on determining the test's reliability and validity in a population without motor impairments. Healthy participants will perform the VET using both their dominant and non-dominant hands across two sessions. The purpose is to establish baseline performance metrics for comparison with stroke patients and to assess the test's usability in clinical settings.
