Interesting, erash , I've never had any of those tests. Do you have upper extremity limitations or symptoms? My arms and hands function fairly normally, although when fatigue is most pronounced my arms will get tired very easily.

I had the peg test, lever test during neuro cog testing

My handwriting has gone from bad to worse

I miss keys typing frequently

And my right arm and hand grasp have weakened

Good thing I don't walk on my hands 😂😂😂

erash thank you for the link. I have never heard of those tests before. The only thing I have ad done is to grasp my doctors hand as tight as I can. Like you I do not write well and I have learnt to do a lot with my left hand, like typing this. Blessings Jimeka 🌈 🦋

Interesting stuff. The only one of those tests that I've had is grip strength which I have had issues with for a long time. I have no idea how I would do on the other tests.
