Anil Sindhurakar, Samuel D Butensky, Jason B Carmel
PMID 31189409WHAT IT FOUND
No clinical finding to act on.
This is a rodent forelimb testing methods viewpoint, not a patient study.
What this paper is
This is a Point of View article comparing manual and automated rodent forelimb movement tests. It does not report a patient study, therapy trial, or clinical outcome, so there is no finding to act on.
Declared interests
JBC served as a consultant to Vulintus, Inc. on a grant that helped develop the knob supination task, but owns no shares and has no financial interest. AS and SDB declare no conflicts.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that automated rodent tasks improve patient therapy. It reviews testing methods, not clinical outcomes.
