After finger movement measurements, we classified the severity of AD into mild and moderate and compared the finger movements.

When comparing finger parameters between the mild AD (64 individuals) and moderate AD (99 individuals) groups, the moderate AD group demonstrated fewer taps (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.005;\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.22) and a longer interval between taps with the thumb and index finger (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.007;\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.21) than the mild AD group.
