Capturing symptomatic progression and treatment effects reliably in clinical therapeutic trials has shown to be a challenging task, facing the problem of small cohorts and a variable phenotype. Hence, robust and sensitive outcome measures are needed, to assess efficacy and safety of novel therapies in clinical studies with small cohorts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Objectives of this study were to assess feasibility, discriminative potential, and correlation to clinical and imaging endpoints of the Q-Motor isometric force matching task with visual feedback. Furthermore, a statistical comparison with the Q-Motor grasping and lifting task should be assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>220 huntingtin gene expansion carriers (HGEC) and 110 non-huntingtin gene expansion carrier (Non-HGEC) participants of the observational TRACK-HD study completed the Q-Motor force matching assessment, along with a standard battery of clinical tests (UHDRS) and MRI assessments. During the Q-Motor force matching assessments, patients were reproducing a target force in precision grip with help of visual feedback. Q-Motor utilizes a highly sensitive force transducer to record force feedback. HGEC participants were categorized into four groups by a CAG- and age-based survival score.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Q-Motor force matching allowed for very good discrimination between HGEC and Non-HGEC participant groups (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for all but least affected HGEC group) and between different HGEC groups (all p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Strong correlations with UHDRS scores (TMS\u2009=\u2009\u22120.708, TFC\u2009=\u2009\u22120.638), CAG-Age product scores (Survival Score\u2009=\u20090.626) and imaging outcomes (caudate volume\u2009=\u2009\u22120.609, striatum volume\u2009=\u2009\u22120.624) were observed. A statistical difference between correlation strength of Q-Motor force matching and Q-Motor grasping and lifting tasks could not be observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cross-sectional analysis of Q-Motor force matching showed promising results, outperforming clinical rating scales in sensitivity.
