LOINC code56059-9
nameDeprecated PhenX measure - hand dominance
descriptionDominance is measured to assess the movement, mobility, and flexibility of an individual to determine which side of the body the study subject favors or the strength of hand activity. This measure is used to determine which hand is dominant or more skilled than the other for fine motor tasks. Of the general population ~90% have right hand dominance, ~10% have left hand dominance, and ~1% is mixed-handed or can use either hand interchangeably to complete a fine motor task (Porac 1981). Hand dominance is thought to be influenced by genetics, and loci for relative hand skill have been mapped.
