The Click Test: A Novel Tool to Quantify the Age-Related Decline of Fast Motor Sequencing of the Thumb

Abstract

The Click Test is an entirely novel and very low cost tool to reliably discriminate the ageing effects upon the performances during fast repetitive motor sequencing of the thumb. The potential clinical and research applications for motor functions are multiple, especially in acute and chronic neurological disorders affecting the thumb as well as in the field of rheumatology and orthopedics.
