Background：This study was to investigate effect of hot and cold water for the hand dexterity.
Methods：A total of 37 subjects having hemiplegia(men=6, women=11) and normal(men=10, women=10) were participated in this study. After both hands was soaked in the small tube for 1 minute, we measured ‘making dots in circles(BOTMP)’, ‘lifting small objects(JHFT)’, ‘disk turning(MMDT)’ test.
Results：In the case of normal's dominant hand, there were statistically significant differences in all tests after soaked in the hot water but there were statistically significant differences in ‘disk turning’ test after soaked in the cold water. In the case of hemiplegia's unaffected hand, there were statistically significant differences in ‘disk turning’ test after soaked in the hot water but there were statistically significant differences in ‘making dots in circles’, ‘ disk turning’ test after soaked in the cold water. In the case of hemiplegia's affected hand, there were statistically significant differences in ‘lifting small objects’, ‘disk turning’ test after soaked in the hot water but there were statistically significant differences in ‘making dots in circles’, ‘disk turning’ test after soaked in the cold water.
Conclusion：The hot and cold water were affected in the hand dexterity. Especially, in the case of both normal and hemiplegia, there were statistically significant differences in ‘disk turning’ test after soaked in the cold and hot water. Therefore, We were founded that affected in gross movement than fine movement
