Male participants, ages 25 to 50, needed for research study

A study is seeking male adults, ages 25 to 50 years old, who have been involved in manual labor to assess dexterity when wearing gloves. 

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.

WVU IRB Protocol # 2106353908

Research will take place in the Occupational Therapy Lab, Room 1205. The entrance is between the first-floor elevators and stairwell.
