The MFNU subtests used in this study [for videos see 25]

Name of subtest	Description
01. Dynamic balance-2 legs	Three sideway jumps within marked squares (back and forth). The entire process is repeated three times without stopping.
02. Dynamic balance-1 leg	Three sideway jumps on one leg within marked squares (back and forth). The entire process is repeated three times without stopping. Both legs are tested.
03. Diadochokinesis-right	Pronation-supination of one hand with the elbow flexed 90 degrees. The hand is held as an “extension” of the lower arm. The exercise is performed for approximately 15–20 seconds.
04. Diadochokinesis-left
05. Reciprocal coordination	Alternate clenching of one fist while stretching the other in a rhythmic manner for about 15 seconds. Fingers should be almost completely extended after the hand has been clenched. Elbows are at a 90-degree angle with palms facing upwards.
06. Thumb movement	The tips of the fingers other than the thumb are successively touched with the palmar surface of the tip of the thumb. After each opposition, the subject extends and abducts the thumb. Both hands are tested for approximately 20 seconds.
07. Walking	Walking with toes alternately pointing outwards (“Chaplin”) and inwards followed by walking on the outer foot rend (Fog’s test) and inner foot rend.
08. Lifting arm	Lies prone with arms at a 45 degree angle from midline; lifts one arm with the palm of the hand facing the floor.
09. Lifting leg	Lies prone with the anterior superior iliac spine touching the floor while lifting one stretched leg at a time.
10. “Flying”	Lies prone, the arm in a 45 degree angle from midline, lifting head, arms and legs.
11. Palpation	Lies prone. The test leader palpates the back, especially the longissimus and latissimus dorsi. The test leader assesses the mobility of the thorax.
12. Passive abduction-right hip	Lies supine. Tester holds the subject’s knee and hip in a flexed position.
13. Passive abduction-left hip	The tester stretches and flexes the leg to elicit relaxation of the hip muscles and abducts the leg. The sides are evaluated separately.
14. Passive movement-right foot	Lies supine. Tester examines passive movement with dorsal flexion and eversion/plantar flexion of the right and the left feet.
15. Passive movement-left foot
16. Synkinesis	‘Synkinesis’ is not a separate test but is an item for evaluating the synkinetic movements registered in one or more subtests. When synkinesis is observed, the tester tries to correct it. The synkinesis remaining after correction is scored.
