object weights and skin condition which showed high sensitivity, specificity and AUC,

object weight and skin condition under which the maximum number of patients with FHD were distinguished from HCs.

DSC: dry skin condition, VWSC: very wet skin condition, SF: slip force, LPD: loading phase duration, N: Newtons, s: seconds, AUC: area under curve, FHD: focal hand dystonia, HCs: healthy controls.
