Not going to help me, I gave up handwriting in college, couldn't read my notes afterwards.
With your heightened chance of getting
Parkinsons due to your stroke, your doctor should have this test in
their protocol. So if positive they can initiate the Parkinsons
prevention protocols. I don't give a damn that those prevention
protocols don't exist yet. Your doctor and hospital ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEM CREATED, only four years of incompetence in not getting them created.
Or you can let sleeping dogs lie and let them be incompetent in peace.
What other business allows failure to continue for decades at a time?
Obviously failure is an option in the medical world because the failures
don't impact the providers directly.

An Early Sign of Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s is a neurological condition caused by loss of brain cells in a critical area of the brain.
Small changes to handwriting can be the first sign of Parkinson’s disease, research finds.
People with Parkinson’s often notice their handwriting becoming smaller and more cramped together.

It may also be more difficult to write for longer periods of time.
The changes are caused by the onset of muscle stiffness in the hands and fingers caused by Parkinson’s.
Other symptoms of Parkinson’s include stiff limbs and problems standing or walking.
The conclusions come from a study of 40 adults, half of whom were known to be in the first stages of Parkinson’s disease.
They were asked to write their names and copy some addresses.
Computer analysis of their handwriting was able to determine with 97.5% accuracy who had a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Along with smaller writing and pressing down more softly, people with Parkinson’s spent longer with their pen in the air.
Professor Sara Rosenblum, the study’s first author, explained:

“This finding is particularly important because while the patient holds the pen in the air, his mind is planning his next action in the writing process, and the need for more time reflects the subject’s reduced cognitive ability.
Changes in handwriting can occur years before a clinical diagnosis and therefore can be an early signal of the approaching disease.”
Professor Rosenblum continued:
“Identifying the changes in handwriting could lead to an early diagnosis of the illness and neurological intervention at a critical moment.”
