This study was planned to compare the finger dexterity, manual grip strength, and dexterity of university students studying in vocational departments, requiring manual dexterity. Participants' dominant side was determined by the Edinburgh Hand Preference Inventory, hand grip strength by hand grip dynamometer, finger strength by pinchmeter, manual dexterity by the Purdue Pegboard Test, upper extremity functionality by the upper extremity functional index, and functional disability by the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Disability Questionnaire. While there was no significant difference between the groups in finger grip and pinch grip strength in physiotherapy and rehabilitation, nursing, computer engineering and graphic design department students (F=0.711; p=0.547), a significant difference was found in tripod and lateral grip (F=6.963; p<.001; F=3.657; p=0.014). Lateral grip strength was significantly different between the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation-Graphic Design group, the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation-Computer Engineering group (MD=-4.13; p=0.005; MD=-4.99; p <.001, respectively). There was a significant difference between Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Nursing and Nursing, and Computer Engineering groups in manual grip strength (MD=13.352; p <.001; MD=-10.487; p=.001, respectively). In the Purdue Pegboard Test for manual dexterity assessment, there were significant differences between the groups in right hand dexterity, total performance, and the assembly of small items (F=3.058; p=0.030 and F=4.272; p=0.006; F=7.099; p<.001), but not in left hand and both hands performance (F=2.476; p=0.063; F=2.661; p>0.05 respectively). It was found that there was a significant difference between the groups in finger grip strength, manual grip strength and dexterity, but there was no significant difference between the groups in upper extremity functionality.
