Manual Dexterity in Patients with Disorder of Consciousness
A considerable proportion of patients with DoC experience severe hand complications, which can negatively impact their clinical diagnosis and quality of life. The BRS is effective in detecting subtle hand motor responses that may reflect residual consciousness in DoC. The observed association between manual dexterity and consciousness suggests that hand motor control may engage neural circuits involved in consciousness processing.
