The NHPT assesses finger dexterity and helps assess
median nerve and hand function [10]. The NHPT
was an important assessment tool in our fine motor research,
and a recent study shows that the NHPT has
an extremely high inter-rater reliability (right: r =
0.984, left: r = 0.993) [11]. This high correlation
shows that different test administrators will score the
test extremely similar. This is important for occupational
therapy because it means therapists can expect
consistent results even with different therapists administering
the assessment.
