Abstract
Movement disorders in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are represented by gait disturbance (i.e., lower body bradykinesia). However, upper extremity bradykinesia was frequently found among iNPH patients. We assessed their upper extremity function by quantitative finger tapping test and checked the correlation with other demographic factors.
