Note. — = Age groups were combined for the test. AUC = area under the curve; BKT = Brief Kinesthesia Test; BMFPT = Brief Manual Form Perception Test; BTDT = Brief Tactile Discrimination Test; BWPST = Brief Wrist Position Sense Test; CTWP = Clinical Test of Wrist Position; max = maximum.
a
Subgroup (n = 181) took these tests; some age groups were collapsed to retain necessary group size for analysis.
