peg

French translation: batonnet

15:16 Dec 8, 2020
English to French translations [Non-PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Motor function test
English term or phrase: peg
“On this test, I want you to pick up the ***pegs*** one at a time, using one hand only, and put them into the holes as quickly as you can in any order until all the holes are filled."
Can someone tell me please what you would use for pegs here in French? I am doing a backtranslation and the forward translator has used "pions". Is that alright?

Explanation:
Cela dépend de la matière, de la forme et de la taille des pièces en question: un pion fait référence à des jeux de sociétés comme les dames ou les échecs, cela semble correspondre ici.

agree  Veronique Parente: le plus courant est le "Nine-Hole Peg Tester" (photo là : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5937371/ . Si c'est le cas, batonnet est approprié. "Fiche" pourrait aussi convenir.
