Improvement of Motor Performance of HIV-Positive Patients Under AZT Therapy
Neurol 42:891-896, Arendt,G.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We performed motor tests(most rapid alternating movements[MRAMs]of index fingers and most raid contractions[MRCs]of voluntary isometric index finger extensions)in HIV-positive patients with(group 1)and without(group 2)AZT treatment over a 6-month period.Whereas MRAMs remained uninfluenced, MRCs showed a clear improvement in the treated group and a decline in the nontreated group,according to the T helper cell counts.MRCs were not only a sensitive test procedure for detecting subclinical lesions in HIV- positive patients,but also a reliable therapy control measurement.
