Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia receive vincristine, a chemotherapy drug known to cause peripheral neuropathy. Yet, few studies have examined the association of vincristine to fine motor function. children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on maintenance vincristine. parent-reported fine motor dysfunction of 15 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in relation to cumulative vincristine exposure. compared to age-related norms, and 57% of parents observed functional motor problems in their children. No significant associations were found between vincristine, manual dexterity, and functional motor skills. suggested. Research with a larger sample is necessary to further explore the association of vincristine and fine motor function in this clinical population.Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
