## Abstract Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are more dependent on visual information during movements than normals. To investigate the mechanisms underlying deterioration of movement under nonvisual conditions, we studied twoβdimensional pointing movements to randomly occurring targets. The
## Abstract We examined the motor performance of Parkinson's disease patients and normal subjects during nonrepetitive and repetitive sequential tasks. Parkinson's disease patients took longer than normal subjects to Complete the nonrepetitie task, the sequential drawing of a pentagon. In patients,
## Abstract Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STNβDBS) reduces akinesia in Parkinson's disease but its impact on fine motor functions was unknown. We assessed the effects of DBS and a levodopa (Lβdopa) test on the timing of the precision grip in 18 patients. Improvement on UPDRSβit
## 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 Studies of electromyographic (EMG) patterns during movements in Parkinson's disease (PD) have often yielded contradictory results, making it impossible to derive a set of rules to explain how muscles are activated to perform different movement tasks. We sought to clarify the changes in
