Investigating Sensory and Motor Differences in Varying Force Output in Young Adults with and without ADHD

Jacqueline Rose Tucker
The overarching goal was to determine whether fingertip forces are related to somatosensation in adults with and without Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This work is important because it could improve our understanding of the neurobiology of ADHD. Existing literature suggests adults with ADHD may have different sensory processing patterns. The results suggest that the clinical somatosensory measures used may not have enough resolution to detect subtle, yet important, differences in adults with and without ADHD.
