The ABILHAND-23 Patient Reported Outcome Measure in Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: A Cross-Sectional Analysis With the Nine Hole Peg Test.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with progressive multiple sclerosis (pwPMS), who typically have established lower limb dysfunction, experience greater disability from upper limb dysfunction (ULD). The 9-hole peg test (9HPT) is the primary clinical measure for ULD but does not fully capture the patient experience. The ABILHAND-23 is a well-validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that evaluates bimanual ability in daily function. However, no large-scale studies have assessed if the 9HPT reflects the individual ULD experience in pwPMS.

Objectives

We sought to (van Munster et al. 2023) assess the associations between the ABILHAND-23 and 9HPT, and (Huertas-Hoyas et al. 2020) to assess the ability of the 9HPT and other relevant covariables to predict ABILHAND-23 scores, using baseline
