Interlocking finger test: a bedside screen for parietal lobe dysfunction

Table 1

Spearman correlation of interlocking finger figure scores with other test scores

Test/clinical feature n rs2
For each neurocognitive test/demographic feature, the number of subjects included in the analysis (n) and the square of the Spearman correlation (r2) of the interlocking finger figure scores with the given test score is reported. Tests were ranked from top to bottom initially in decreasing order of significance (p value) and then by decreasing correlation of scores within each significance level. **Significant at p<0.01. *Significant at p<0.05
