Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between typing speed required dexterity of hand and visual perception. Method. We studied 50 people who were not experience of hand injury in K university. Typing speed, hand dexterity and visual perception were measured using purdue pegboard test, MVPT-3 and 'Cheongsando' in Hancom typing program. Results analysis was used Pearson correlation coefficient of the SPSS 10.0. Result. In this study, the typing speed showed a positive correlation with the figure ground, but there was no correlation visual closure and visual discrimination. Conclusion. Typing speed was correlated with hand dexterity and figure ground. Therefore, utilizing a computer keyboard at treatment can be expected to enhance hand function and visual perception.
