Title: Inter-rater Reliability of the Purdue Pegboard Test in Adults after a Stroke Abstract: The Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT) is a standardized tool which evaluates fine motor skills, finger and hand dexterity. This test is used to assess and evaluate not only neurological patients. The official Czech translation of the manual has not been available in the Czech Republic yet. To unify the administration of PPT, a new Czech extended version of the manual for PPT: Model 32020A was created.

In particular, it focuses on the possibilities of training and adaptation during dressing up of the upper and lower part of the patient's body. The theoretical part summarizes the basic knowledge of the central nervous system, motor control and neurological diseases, which result in the partial paralysis of one-half of the body. Furthermore, the concept of pADL and their connection to the field of occupational therapy is explained. The following chapters are dedicated to the theoretical description of the possibilities of adaptation, training of activities of daily living and evaluation in the field of occupational therapy. Last, but not least, there is an overview of existing manuals that are currently available. The aim of the practical part was to create a video manual, designed for people with hemiparesis to practice the activitity of dressing up.
