The coordinated hand and finger movements to grasp objects and perform tasks is known as manual dexterity. The study focus to assess validity, Inter-Rater Reliability, Test-Retest Reliability, compared to traditional Nine Hole Peg Test with a stopwatch and the dmS-NHPT with an Autotimer. 80 Participants were included and randomized into two groups. The Group A was tested from Evaluator I with the dmS-NHPT, with an Autotimer (digital version of modified standardized Nine hole peg test), and then with tNHPT with stop watch (traditional Nine Hole peg test) on the same day. Group B was tested by Evaluator II.10 days after first testing, the second testing is done with the Evaluators being reversed. Dexterity assessment for healthy individuals assessed and compared with the standard version of Nine Hole Peg Test. The Reliability and Validity of New Version is evaluated.
