General Information
|
| Objectives |
|
The NHPT is a timed test of fine motor coordination. It was originally designed for use in stroke and MS patients. Normal values exist for children (4-19). It has been used to measure hand function in adults and children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with some success.

|
| Category of Outcome Measure |
|
| Chronology of Development |
|
Reliability and validity have been assessed in other patient groups. Norms are available. The only work done in NMD has been with CMT individuals where it was shown to have good intra- and inter-rater relaibility in one paper but in another paper, only if it took less than 2 minutes to complete.
