The Chinese version of the Cambridge Neurological Inventory (CNI) with
its Motor Coordination, Sensory Integration, and Disinhibition subscales
was utilized to evaluate the NSS of subjects(Chen et al., 1995). (1)
Items for withholding or inhibiting linked movements, such as grab
reflex, palmomental reflex, and mirror movements, are included in the
disinhibition subscales. (2) Items that assess fast motor movements are
included in the Motor Coordination subscales, including the finger nose
test, finger-thumb opposition, sequential finger-thumb opposition, and
oseretsky test. (3) Items measuring tactile sensitivity include the
flap/stop test, extinction test, finger agnosia, and left-right
orientation. The items were scored using standardized anchor points to
signify a ”normal” response (0 points), an ”equivocal” response (0.5),
an ”abnormal” response (1), or a ”grossly abnormal” response (2).
