Measurements of the lengths of the feet and hands are reported for 15 neurologically normal children and for 17 children with left and 12 with right cerebral lesions. For those with left lesions the length of the left hand and foot significantly exceeded the right, while for those with right lesions the right hand and foot significantly exceeded the left. No significant foot or hand differences were found among the neurologically normal children. These findings demonstrate the association of atrophic limb-changes with unilateral brain lesions, and suggest that asymmetrical foot and hand growth may be a biological marker of early cerebral lesions.
报告了15名神经功能正常儿童、17名左侧脑损伤儿童和12名右侧脑损伤儿童的手足长度测量结果。对于左侧脑损伤的儿童，左手和左脚的长度明显超过右侧，而对于右侧脑损伤的儿童，右手和右脚的长度明显超过左侧。在神经功能正常的儿童中未发现明显的手足差异。这些发现证明了肢体萎缩性变化与单侧脑损伤之间的关联，并表明手足不对称生长可能是早期脑损伤的生物学标志物。
