Interinstrument Reliability Between the Squegg ® Smart Dynamometer and Hand Grip Trainer and the Jamar® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The Squegg shows promise for health care professionals, including occupational therapists, for grip strength assessment in clinical contexts. What This Article Adds: These results offer initial psychometric data for a new remote MGS measurement device. MGS is crucial for assessing the physical function of aging adults. Reliable measurements from such a device are vital for occupational therapists to guide treatment interventions and assess hand function's impact on daily activities.PMID:37824723 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050099 (Source: The American Journal of Occupational Therapy)

Using Artificial Intelligence to Identify the Associations of Children's Performance of Coloring, Origami, and Copying Activities With Visual-Motor Integration
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Because moderate R2 values were found between performance of the three activity products and VMI, the three activities have high potential for use in identifying children's level of VMI or as teaching materials to facilitate the development of children's VMI. Furthermore, combining origami and copying activities is recommended for teachers and clinicians who need to address VMI. What This Article Adds: A combination of origami and copying activities had the strongest associations with children's VMI. Teachers and clinicians can use these two activities when addressing VMI development among presch...
