This study seeks to understand the relationship between glove wear and manual dexterity. Participants will receive a $25 dollar gift card for their completed participation.
This study involves comparing hand performance on specific hand assessments. Participants will complete hand strength and dexterity assessments with bare hands and while wearing protective gloves. A resting station will be included to decrease the possibility of fatigue. This will take approximately an hour and a half to complete.
