Abstract This study aimed to demonstrate that the simple tracing test (STT) is useful for assessing the hand dexterity in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) by comparing STT scores between healthy volunteers and CSM patients. This study included 25 CSM patients and 38 healthy volunteers. In the STT, the participants traced a sine wave displayed on a tablet device at a comfortable pace, and the tracing accuracy, changes in the total sum of pen pressures, and tracing duration were assessed. Data were analyzed using an artificial neural networks (ANN) model to obtain STT scores. All participants were evaluated using the subsection for the upper extremity function of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scoring system for cervical myelopathy (JOA subscore for upper extremity function) and the grip and release test (GRT). The results were compared with the STT scores. The mean STT scores were 24.4 ± 32.8 in the CSM patients and 84.9 ± 31.3 in the healthy volunteers, showing a significant difference. The STT scores showed highly positive correlations with both the JOA subscore for upper extremity function (r = 0.66; P |
