摘要：

Children with myelodysplasia frequently have abnormal hand function. Etiologies include brainstem and cervical cord compression due to the Chiari II malformation, syringomyelia, hydrocephalus, and cerebral dysmorphism. Determination of potentially correctable causes of hand dysfunction may be difficult. We describe the use of the Jaymar dynamometer for assessing grip strength as a means of detecting early changes in hand function.
