简要总结
The aim of the study is to report the results of manual dexterity using the Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test in people with Multiple Sclerosis.
详细描述
Upper limb can be affected even in early stage in people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS). Manual dexterity is important to maintain upper limb function and 9-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) is used as gold standard to assess dexterity in pwMS. There are no studies evaluating manual dexterity with the Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test (MMDT) in pwMS. This study aims to:
- reporting the results of manual dexterity using the Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test and comparing the test results with healthy volunteers,
- examining the relationship between MMDT and 9HPT, ABILHAND, grip strength, pinch strength, fatigue.
