Although it is not a very common condition, people who have suffered from neuro-damage or neuro-diseases are at risk for developing a condition known as Alien hand syndrome (AHS). Individuals who have this condition are unable to control the movement of their hands for certain brief intervals of time. In order to improve upon the treatment of individuals with AHS, it is important that signs and symptoms of the disease are identified as soon as possible. The purpose of this investigation is to catalog the data regarding the pre-existing conditions and the method of diagnosis for AHS. Within the review, it was revealed that stroke was the most common pre-existing condition for the disease. Therefore, physicians who have stroke patients within their care should carefully monitor their condition in case they do develop AHS. Additionally, it was found that using an MRI machine was the most common method of diagnosing a patient with AHS. This was most likely because MRI scans provide the most information about a patient's brain functionality which can be used to deduce if an individual has AHS.
虽然这不是一种非常常见的病症，但患有神经损伤或神经疾病的人有患异己手综合征（AHS）的风险。患有这种病症的个体在某些短暂的时间段内无法控制其手部的运动。为了改善对AHS患者的治疗，尽早识别该疾病的体征和症状很重要。本研究的目的是整理有关AHS既往病史和诊断方法的数据。在综述中发现，中风是该疾病最常见的既往病史。因此，照顾中风患者的医生应仔细监测他们的病情，以防他们真的患上AHS。此外，发现使用磁共振成像（MRI）机器是诊断AHS患者最常用的方法。这很可能是因为MRI扫描提供了关于患者大脑功能的最多信息，可用于推断一个人是否患有AHS。
