Kinematic characteristics in patients with subcortical vascular cognitive impairment: a quantitative analysis of digitized spiral drawing metrics.

ABSTRACT: Subcortical vascular cognitive impairment (SVCI) is caused by white matter degeneration. Multiple lacunar infarction due to deep small vascular disease around the subcortical structure and incomplete infarction of white matter owing to decreased perfusion are some of the causes of vascular cognitive impairment. Damage to subcortical structures and prefrontal-cortical circuits can affect motor skills along with cognitive abilities. In this study, we identified the indicators, such as pen pressure, speed, and deviation (degree of deviation from the target line), which can be observed in drawing performance in patients with SVCI. A total of 24 patients with SVCI and 26 healthy adults (HC) were subjected to digitized drawing along straight lines and spiral drawing (drawing along spiral lines,
