The Errand Choice Task (ECT) assesses the perception of patients’ own motor skills and implications on their task choices.
Participants are presented with 18 pairs of everyday tasks illustrated in a set of simple line drawings. For each pair, patients are asked to indicate which task they would find easier to perform in their current condition. For 16 trials, each pair consists of one task unimanual and one bimanual task of comparable difficulty; in two trials (check trials), the pairs consists of unilateral tasks only but of very different difficulty.
