## Abstract To study the influence of discriminative cutaneous sensory dysfunction on impaired finger dexterity in Parkinson's disease (PD), we evaluated 48 right‐handed PD patients during a practically defined off‐medication period and 24 healthy age‐matched controls. With visual deprivation, a fi
## Abstract By analyzing the kinematics of repetitive, constant‐amplitude, 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
