Abstract | We examined the causes of decreased fingertip dexterity in elderly individuals with an aim to improve their quality of life by improving their activities of daily living. We calculated nerve conduction velocity, absolute error during force adjustment tasks, and fingertip dexterity test scores for 30 young (21-34 years old) and 30 elderly (60-74 years old) participants to identify age-related changes. We also assessed subjective complaints of pain, motor function, and numbness. Motor nerve (young: 55.8 ± 3.7 m/s; elderly: 52.2 ± 5.0 m/s) and sensory nerve (young: 59.4 ± 3.4 m/s; elderly: 55.5 ± 5.3 m/s) conduction velocities decreased in an age-dependent manner. Moreover, the decrease of motor nerve conduction velocity was associated with decreased fingertip dexterity (objective index), while the decrease of sensory nerve conduction velocity was associated with subjective complaints of pain and motor function (subjective index). |
