Patient ID | Time Point | Description of the Movements | Individual Finger Isolation | Mirror and Associated Movements | Tapping Rate (Hz) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Pre | Separated thumb and index finger movements; low tapping amplitude |
Difficulty in isolating middle, ring, and little fingers |
Some wrist movements due to instability |
0.5 |
Post | Good separated thumb and index finger movements; high tapping amplitude |
Same as “Pre” | None observed | 0.5 | |
2 | Pre | Near-normal tapping performance; high amplitude of finger movements but less stable |
Good | Some synergistic movements from the wrist |
1.8 |
Post | No noticeable difference from “Pre” | Good | Same as “Pre” | 1.5 | |
3 | Pre | Fingers moving together; small tapping amplitude |
Poor | Synkinesia of the fingers | ~0.5 |
Post | Same as “Pre” | Poor | Same as “Pre” | −0.5 | |
6-mo | Some individual finger movements; low tapping amplitude |
Moderate | None observed | 0.5 | |
12-mo | Same as “6-mo”; relatively high tapping amplitude |
Moderate; more individual finger isolation than “Post” |
None observed | 0.7 | |
4 | Pre | Observable individual finger movements; low tapping amplitude |
Moderate | Little finger moving together with others |
0.7 |
Post | Some individual finger movements; high tapping amplitude |
Moderate | None observed | 0.7 | |
6-mo | Good individual finger movements; high tapping amplitude |
Good | None observed | 0.7 | |
12-mo | No obvious difference from “6-mo” | Good | None observed | 0.7 |
fMRI = functional magnetic resonance imaging; Pre = before; Post = after; 6-mo = 6 months after; 12-mo = 12 months after therapeutic training.
