Aviator Dexterity Modules

Valpar's Aviator Dexterity Modules (ADM) are low cost, time efficient tools that measure motor coordination, and manual and finger dexterity. They are compact, portable and offer a variety of assessment protocols plus the advantage of MTM (Methods Time Measurement) industrial standards and DOT Worker Qualification Profile data. ADM tasks are Criterion-referenced to DOL (Department of Labor) standards. In addition, they offer ample opportunity to observe secondary characteristics, such as pain tolerance, sitting tolerance, and instruction following.
