Objectives: This study examined the prevalence of finger dexterity proficiency using Nine-hole peg test among surgeons.
Methods: The purpose & procedure of the study was explained to participants. Subjects were screened according to inclusion & exclusion criteria, a written consent was obtained, & the procedure was explained to them. Participant performed Nine-hole peg test according to the norms; proficiency of finger dexterity was concluded on the basis of age, sex, and dominance.
Results: The result indicates a significant decrease in average finger dexterity proficiency (p< 0.003), particularly in dominant hand(p<0.001) among surgeons.
Conclusions: The study concludes with a prevalence of reduced finger dexterity proficiency among surgeons, particularly in the dominant hand.
