Pegboard testing is a manipulative dexterity test that uses a board containing twenty-five holes with randomly positioned slots and pegs which have a key along one side. Pegs must be rotated to match the hole before they can be inserted.
This procedure measures performance speed in a fine motor task by examining both sides of the body. Inferences may be drawn regarding possible lateral brain damage.
Testers have a maximum of 3 minutes per hand to perform the task.
