Multiple sclerosis is a disorder which causes a loss of functionality, affecting the person's ability to perform activities of daily living, such as interpersonal interactions and relationship, dressing, self-care, or bathing, as well as having a negative impact on work and leisure activities.
This study examined the relationship (correlational or associations/predictive) between self-perceived quality of life and performance of manipulative dexterity. Also, this study sought to measure predictors of dexterity. . A cross-sectional study from two associations of MS within the Community of Madrid, Spain. . A final sample of 30 people with multiple sclerosis. The outcome measures used were the ABILHAND questionnaire, the Purdue Pegboard Test, the Nine Hole Peg Test, and the Box and Block Test.
No significant correlations were found between dexterity and self-perception tests; however, correlations were found between perceived dexterity and quality of life ( < 0.001). Scores for the ABILHAND questionnaire, which measures the perception of skills in daily living, predicted up to 60% of the variance in the dexterity tests.
The results of this study suggest that interventions for improving the manipulative dexterity of people with multiple sclerosis should address the person's perception of improving their manipulative dexterity and the perceived of quality of life, as both factors may influence manipulative dexterity.
多发性硬化症是一种功能丧失的疾病，影响患者进行日常生活活动的能力，如人际互动和关系、穿衣、自我护理或洗澡，以及对工作和休闲活动产生负面影响。
本研究旨在探讨自我感知生活质量与操作灵巧性表现之间的关系（相关性或关联/预测性）。此外，本研究还试图测量灵巧性的预测因素。这是一项来自西班牙马德里社区两个多发性硬化症协会的横断面研究。最终样本为 30 名多发性硬化症患者。使用的结果测量指标包括 ABILHAND 问卷、普渡钉板测试、九孔钉测试和箱和块测试。
在灵巧性和自我感知测试之间未发现显著相关性；然而，在感知灵巧性和生活质量之间发现了相关性（<0.001）。用于测量日常生活技能感知的 ABILHAND 问卷得分预测了灵巧性测试中高达 60%的方差。
这项研究的结果表明，为改善多发性硬化症患者的操作灵巧性而进行的干预措施应该针对患者对改善操作灵巧性和感知生活质量的感知，因为这两个因素可能会影响操作灵巧性。
