Longitudinal assessment of hand function in individuals with multiple sclerosis

ConclusionsHand function is commonly impaired in individuals with MS. Assessing hand dysfunction with dynamometry and the 9HPT could help improve the precision of detecting changes in hand function over time in MS, and may be more sensitive in detecting changes in PMS. These quantitative tests may be useful as outcome measures in clinical trials using neuroprotective or reparative therapies and rehabilitative interventions.
