Intervention

Device:
• Hand-held dynamometer
Maximum Grip Strength will be measured using a hand-held dynamometer (K-FORCE Grip dynamometer®. Kinvent Biomequanique S.A.S, Montpellier, France) during the preoperative, intraoperative (Awake craniotomy) and postoperative period.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Intraoperative maximum grip strength (KgF) baseline	Maximum grip strength (KgF) will be measured using hand-held dynamometry every 2 minutes from the time the patient awakes until the end of surgery. Intraoperative maximum grip strength baseline is defined as the mean of 3 consecutive measures with <10% variability.	1 day
Primary	Intraoperative maximum grip strength (KgF) variability	To validate the use of hand-held dynamometry as an adequate tool to monitor intraoperative motor function during awake craniotomies (AC), maximum grip strength (KgF) will be measured every 2 minutes from the time the patient awakes to the end of surgery. The intra-individual variability will be defined as the percent difference between sets with 10% or greater defined as substantial variability.	1 day
Primary	Maximum grip strength (KgF) variability from preoperative baseline	To validate the use of hand-held dynamometry as an adequate tool to monitor intraoperative motor function during AC, each patient will be baselined (mean of 6 consecutive measurements) during the preoperative neuropsychology evaluation. Variability from preoperative baseline will be calculated as a percentile [ (Preoperative Baseline/ Intraoperative Baseline)/ Preoperative Baseline) * 100]	1 day
Primary	Operative Time (Minutes)	Defined as the duration of the procedure from the initiation of skin incision to the completion of skin closure according to anesthesia records. Measured in minutes.	1 day
Secondary	Correlation Coefficient (?) between hand-held dynamometry and manual motor testing during AC	Concordance between hand-held dynamometer and manual motor testing will be evaluated using Spearmans' correlation coefficient.	1 day
Secondary	Postoperative Maximum Grip Strength (KgF)	Postoperative Maximum Grip strength (KgF) will be measured using hand-held dynamometer at day 1 and at 1 month follow-up.	1 month
