Pilot normative database for the Wolf Motor Function Test.
OBJECTIVE
To gather initial data on the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) from able-bodied participants.


METHODS
Cross-sectional cohort study.


METHODS
Clinical research laboratory.


METHODS
A convenience sample of 51 healthy able-bodied, right-hand dominant, adult participants, between the ages of 40 and 79 years.


METHODS
One-time administration of the WMFT.


METHODS
The WMFT.


RESULTS
Mean data are presented for all timed and strength tasks. For timed tasks on the WMFT, there were no significant differences among subjects for hand or sex nor was there a hand by sex interaction. Men were significantly stronger than women on the 2 strength tasks, however.


CONCLUSIONS
We provide preliminary normative data for the WMFT. More data are needed to produce precise estimates of norms and to explore relations among sex, age, and hand dominance.
