Method:In this study Jebson Taylor was evaluated on hand in 180 normal males and females in 3 age groups :( 15-25), (35-45), (55-65), in Iran, Tehran Results:There was significant deference on hand function (dominate and non dominate) by the Jebson Taylor in 3 age groups. There was significant deference on dominant hand function. By the Jebson Taylor Test between males and females in third subtest (p-value= 0/08) and also in fifth subtest (p-value= 0/04).
