Abstract
Motor symptoms are a major feature of Huntington's disease (HD). The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) commissioned the assessment of the clinimetric properties of motor rating scales in HD to make recommendations regarding their use, following previously established standardized criteria. After a systematic literature search, a total of 6 rating scales assessing motor symptoms and signs in HD were included for review. Performance testing (reviewed elsewhere) and quantitative motor rating methods were excluded. Only the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale-Total Motor Score (UHDRS-TMS) was classified as "recommended" for assessing the severity of motor signs in HD. The following scales were classified as "suggested": Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale, the UHDRS-TMS4, the Quantified Neurological Examination, and the Marsden and Quinn Chorea Severity Scale. The committee also concluded that further assessment of existing rating scales, including the UHDRS-TMS, is necessary to determine sensitivity to change and to screening for the presence of motor signs specific to HD. There is also a need to develop a motor rating scale to be used in positive gene carriers with subtle but not definite motor signs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
