## 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

## 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 studied 12 nonβdemented PD patients in __on__ state before and 3 months after posteroventral pallidotomy (PVP), in order to evaluate the effects of surgery upon an unconstrained, multijoint skilled movement as well as a single joint, repetitive, ballistic movement. A Selspot II Syste
