Could you explain the expected results from this clinical endeavor?

"This medical study seeks to evaluate hand function over a 4 minute duration, using the Nine Hole Peg Test as its primary measure. Secondary outcomes include Quick Dash (QDASH) and the Enjoyment Subscale of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory scale which are both assessed via 11-item subjective questionnaires. The QDASH score is represented on an 0 - 100 point system where lower scores indicate less disability."
