The median Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia score was used to divide participants into less and more severe ataxia groups. The two groups' average scores on the hand function tests were compared, and correlation of each test with ataxia severity was determined.<h4>Results</h4>The Nine Hole Peg Test, Box and Block Test, and Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitationMeasurements of Hand Function in Degenerative Cerebellar Disease: A Case-Control Pilot Study.PMC7483965R01 NS104423R01 NS118179Mackenzie SKitago TBarbuto SStein JKuo SHfalseMeasurements of Hand Function in Degenerative Cerebellar Disease: A Case-Control Pilot Study.<h4>Objective</h4>The aim of the study was to determine the association of Nine Hole Peg Test, Box and Block Test, Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, and kinematic measures of a simple reaching task with ataxia severity in adults with degenerative cerebellar disease.<h4>Design</h4>Fourteen adults with cerebellar degeneration were recruited, and ataxia severity was determined using the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia.
