Mean scores of measures of assessing upper extremity function and MSQOL-54.

ARAT scores mean ± SD (n = 111∗)

Both hands = 54.1 ± 6.4

Dominant hand = 54.6 ± 5.6

Nondominant hand = 53.6 ± 8.2

Less impaired hand = 55.0 ± 5.3

More impaired hand = 53.2 ± 8.3

9-HPT scores mean ± SD (n = 111∗)

Both hands = 29.1 ± 23.2

Dominant hand = 25.2 ± 8.9

Nondominant hand = 33.0 ± 41.8

Less impaired hand = 23.8 ± 6.8

More impaired hand = 34.4 ± 41.9

UEFS score mean ± SD(n = 112) = 22.4 ± 17.1

MSQOl-54 scores mean ± SD (n = 112)

PHCS = 57.7 ± 19.4; MHCS = 65.1 ± 22.1

^∗One participant chose not to participate in the 9-HPT and ARAT but completed the UEFS and MSQOL-54. Abbreviations: ARAT: Action Research Arm Test; 9-HPT: Nine-Hole Peg Test; UEFS: Upper Extremity Function Scale; MSQOL-54: Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54; PHCS: physical health composite score; MHCS: mental health composite score; SD: standard deviation.
