Assessing hand motor function in chronic immune-mediated neuropathies: a proof-of-concept study using a data glove
This data glove allowed for a non-invasive assessment of the hand motor function and yielded investigator-independent results that reliably reflected individual functional deficits with relevance to everyday life. Future studies should explore the ability to predict clinically meaningful responses to immunomodulatory treatment and to support and monitor rehabilitation progress, with potential applications in other neurological diseases as well.
