FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out a series of subtests in applying pressure by every finger on each hand, by fingers of both hands at the same time in usual and crossed positions. Each pressure movement time and its duration are recorded, and values are calculated like total number of pressure movements done with each finger, with all fingers; share finger activity as total number of pressure movements done with a finger divided by the number of pressure movements done with all fingers; each finger pressure movements frequency as total number of pressure movements done within the whole experiment divide by experiment duration; total number of pressure movements done with fingers of right and left hand, pressure movements share per each hand; the number of cases when pressure movements are done by two fingers in turn; the number of rigid grips occurred with each finger; maximum duration in holding button in pressed state per each finger; total duration in holding button in pressed state per each finger; the number of synkinetic movements per each hand. Diagnostic conclusions are drawn from comparison results when comparing obtained numeric values to reference values.
EFFECT: high information capacity of the obtained results.
