Background£ºThis study was to investigate effect of hot and cold water for the hand dexterity.
Methods£ºA 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£ºIn 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£ºThe 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
