## Abstract By analyzing the kinematics of repetitive, constantβamplitude, finger oppositions, we compared the impairment of individual and nonindividual finger movements in patients with Parkinson's disease. In one task, subjects tapped only the index finger against the thumb (individual oppositio
## Abstract Mirror movements (MM) refer to ipsilateral involuntary movements that appear during voluntary activity in contralateral homologous body regions. This study aimed to compare the frequency and distribution of MM in an unselected sample of 274 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and 100

## Abstract A retrospective analysis was performed on the records of 33 offβtherapy parkinsonian patients. We analyzed the clinical score of three sequential upper limb movements: finger tapping, hand opening and closing, and forearm pronation and supination. The records showed that nearly all pati
We examined eyelid movements during spontaneous, voluntary, and trigeminal reflex blinks in 16 patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease (PD) off medication and 14 controls. Voluntary and reflex blink amplitudes tended to be smaller than normal for PD patients, whereas eyelid kinematics (am
