Abstract

Background: Hand dexterity is important with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare hand dexterity and hand laterality task assessments in patients with DMD with typically-developing peers.

Methods: The study included 25 DMD with a mean age of 10.2±2.38 and 21 typically-developing peers with a mean age of 10.33±2.26. Functional levels of DMD patients were determined by Brooke Upper Extremity Functional Classification Scale and Brooke Lower Extremity Functional Scale. The ABILHAND-Kids and 9-hole peg test were used to assess the hand dexterity of all participants, and assess the hand laterality task.

Results: Patients with DMD had lower ABILHAND-Kids scores than their typically-developing peers (p < 0.001). Patients with DMD had higher 9-hole peg test duration on the dominant and non-dominant extremity compared to typically-developing peers (p < 0.001). Patients with DMD were found to be different from their typically-developing peers (p < 0.001) in lateralization response time and accuracy.

Conclusion: Patients with DMD were found to have lower manual dexterity and hand laterality task skills compared to their typically-developing peers. It is recommended that hand dexterity and upper extremity recognition capacities should be considered in assessment and intervention programs for physiotherapists and clinicians working in this field.

比较杜兴氏肌肉萎缩症患者与发育正常的同龄人的手部灵活性和手部侧向性任务。

背景：杜氏肌营养不良症（DMD）患者的手部灵活性非常重要：手部灵活性对杜氏肌营养不良症（DMD）患者非常重要：本研究旨在比较 DMD 患者与发育正常的同龄人的手部灵活性和手部侧向性任务评估：研究对象包括 25 名 DMD 患者（平均年龄为 10.2±2.38）和 21 名发育正常的同龄人（平均年龄为 10.33±2.26）。DMD 患者的功能水平由布鲁克上肢功能分级量表和布鲁克下肢功能量表确定。ABILHAND-Kids和9孔钉测试用于评估所有参与者的手部灵活性，并评估手部偏侧任务：DMD患者的ABILHAND-Kids评分低于发育正常的同龄人（p 结论：DMD患者的ABILHAND-Kids评分低于发育正常的同龄人（p与发育正常的同龄人相比，DMD 患者的手部灵活性和手部侧向任务技能较低。建议物理治疗师和从事该领域工作的临床医生在评估和干预计划中考虑手部灵活性和上肢识别能力。

期刊介绍： NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
