2.2 Neurological assessment
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).
