Very interesting to know that you have been thinking along the same lines.My nut and bolt test and your finger tapping presumable can only study limited aspects of the disease - for instance although I might obtain a good result from my test which as you say measures flexibility and dexterity - it does not measure the difficulty which I might have in walking. I would be interested to see how others might get on with my test.It's quite fun to do and if any interest is shown I would be happy to provide more precise details of the type of bolt etc.As a scientist manque I am all in favour of objectivity. Good luck with your computer program. David Langridge
