User:Diberri/Luria test
In neurology, the Luria test (also called the fist-edge-palm test or FEP) is a test of executive function. In this test, the examiner instructs a subject to sequentially place one of the subject's hands in three different positions called fist, edge, and palm. Difficulty performing this task is often suggestive of frontal lobe dysfunction,[1] although interpretation of subjects' performance is controversial.[2]
A 2002 functional MRI study demonstrated that successful performance of this task required left and right premotor areas, opposite parietal area, same-sided cerebellum, opposite-sided sensorimotor area, and opposite-sided supplementary motor areas.[3]
