background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is the most common disabling neurological disease. hand dysfunction is one of the main complaints of patients with ms. the present study aimed to compare hand dexterity of ms patients with low expanded disability status scale (edss) scores and healthy adults. it also sought to identify the predictors of disability status of patients with ms based on their man...

objectives: down syndrome is the most common chrosomal disorder in which the fine and gross motor skills due to lack of proper sensory experience are disturbed. the role of dexterity in activity of daily living, interaction with environment and independency is quiet crucial in down syndrome. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of simultaneous application of superfici...

Objective: To investigate the correlation between lower and higher order sensory functions and manual dexterity as well as to identify the sensory measures that could predict manual dexterity in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 55 patients with idiopathic PD by mean age of 59.85 ± 11.89 years, and mean Hoehn and Yahr stage ...
