However, motor abnormalities involving the upper extremities in iNPH patients have few quantitative studies. OBJECTIVE: The present study was designed to quantitatively assess bimanual tapping tasks in iNPH patients and to compare with the control groups. METHODS: The subjects were divided into three groups: iNPH patients, older healthy group, and younger healthy group. The tasks were three synchronization finger-to-thumb tapping tasks with the auditory stimuli specified at 1\u200aHz by metronome: unilateral, bimanual simultaneous, and bimanual alternate. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare the outcomes of the three errors (absolute error: AE, variable error: VE, and constant error: CE) for tapping cycles. RESULTS: In the iNPH group, the absolute and variable errors increased in bimanual alternate tapping task with statistical significance (AE: p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.05 and VE: p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.05). There were no significant differences in errors between the older and young healthy groups (AE: p\u200a=\u200a0.62, CE: p\u200a=\u200a1.00 and VE: p\u200a=\u200a0.31). CONCLUSIONS: We could quantitatively evaluate the bimanual coordination on iNPH patients using the bimanual alternate tapping task, potentially useful for evaluating patients unable to walk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/nre-220010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]],"date-time":"2022-05-10T12:27:14Z","timestamp":1652185634000},"page":"333-339","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A new screening test for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus using bimanual coordination: A preliminary study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7832-2224","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takuma","family":"Umemori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, The Jikei University Katsushika Medical Center, Aoto, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Health Promotion Science, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Minami-Osawa, Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Higuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Promotion Science, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Minami-Osawa, Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takayoshi","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, The Jikei University Katsushika Medical Center, Aoto, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhide","family":"Nakayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Jikei University Hospital, Nishishimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Nishishimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Goro","family":"Fujita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, The Jikei University Katsushika Medical Center, Aoto, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yumi","family":"Okuyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Nishishimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazushige","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Nishishimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masahiro","family":"Abo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Nishishimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/NRE-220010_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM196507152730301","article-title":"Symptomatic Occult Hydrocephalus with Normal Cerebrospinal-Fluid Pressure","volume":"273","author":"Adams,","year":"1965","journal-title":"New England Journal of Medicine"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/NRE-220010_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1249\/MSS.0b013e3181b7f3e1","article-title":"Finger tapping ability in healthy elderly and young adults","volume":"42","author":"Aoki,","year":"2010","journal-title":"Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/NRE-220010_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.1007\/s00221-010-2244-0","article-title":"Resource-demanding versus cost-effective bimanual interaction in the brain","volume":"203","author":"Aramaki,","year":"2010","journal-title":"Experimental Brain Research"},{"key":"10.3233\/NRE-220010_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cohen, J.
