Accuracy and reliability of Babinski sign versus finger and foot tapping in the diagnosis of corticospinal tract lesions

摘要

Introduction: The Babinski sign is one of the most important clinical signs for detecting corticospinal tract (CST) lesions. However, due to variations in testing and interpretation, it has been associated with low interobserver agreement rates. In this study, the diagnostic value of finger and foot tapping in detecting CST lesions was compared to that of the Babinski sign.
