摘要: Abstract Study design Matched pair study. Introduction Differences in hand-muscle strength/dexterity between dominant (DH) and non-dominant (NDH) hand Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) are not wellunderstood. Purpose of the study To compare muscle DH NDH to correlate manual dexterity, strength sensory function. Patients methods Thirty CMT patients were studied using functional testing (FMT) (dynamometry), dexterity (the Nine Hole Peg Test [NHPT]), Jebsen–Taylor Hand Function [JTT]), function Nottingham Sensory Assessment [NSA]). Results Scores worse for than on FMT (p = 0.043) NHPT 0.014) but JTT (p = 0.098), handgrip 0.710) or tripod pinch 0.645). NSA did significantly with any tests (p′s0.05). Conclusions In disease, appears more impaired terms dexterity. Greater weakness may also emerge as progresses. Level evidence 3b.
