Abstract

Objective: The Grooved Pegboard Test (GPT), commonly used with middle-aged and older adults, assesses fine motor control, psychomotor speed, and visuomotor coordination. Previous studies have shown the potential influence of sociodemographic variables on performance for this test. The present study aims to develop normative data for the GPT in the middle-aged and elderly Quebec-French population.

Method: The normative sample consisted of 266 individuals aged 50 to 90 years from the province of Quebec. Multiple regression analyses were performed to estimate the association between the predictors (age, sex, education, and handedness) and the performance on each trial.

Results: GPT performance was positively associated with female sex and negatively associated with age on all trials. Left-handedness was positively associated with performance on non-dominant hand trials. Finally, the interaction between age and education levels was positively associated with performance on the second non-dominant hand trial. Normative data are presented using regression equations. One should note that a gender imbalance was observed in the sample, limiting the generalizability of the normative data for men, especially in less-educated subgroups.

Conclusion: This study will facilitate the identification of psychomotor impairments in the middle-aged and elderly Quebec-French population.

魁北克-法国中老年人槽钉板测验的规范数据。

目的：常用于中老年人的槽钉板测试（GPT），用于评估精细运动控制、精神运动速度和视觉运动协调性。先前的研究表明，社会人口变量对这项测试的表现有潜在的影响。本研究旨在为中老年魁北克-法国人口的GPT发展规范数据。方法：标准样本为来自魁北克省的266名50 ~ 90岁的个体。进行多元回归分析以估计预测因子（年龄、性别、教育程度和惯用手）与每次试验的表现之间的关联。结果：在所有试验中，GPT表现与女性性别呈正相关，与年龄负相关。左撇子与非惯用手实验的表现呈正相关。最后，年龄和教育水平之间的相互作用与第二次非优势手试验的表现呈正相关。规范数据用回归方程表示。应该注意的是，在样本中观察到性别不平衡，限制了男性规范数据的普遍性，特别是在受教育程度较低的亚组中。结论：本研究有助于中老年人魁北克-法国人精神运动障碍的识别。

期刊介绍： pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
