Milkmaid’s Grip of Chorea on Physical Exam

Milk maids grip is appreciated as an alternating squeezing and releasing of the finger like a milking motion, when asked to maintain a constant, firm grip of examiner’s fingers. This may reflect a combination of Chorea and Motor impersistence.

As a result of poor grip, patients often involuntarily drop objects.
