## Abstract Postural adjustments associated with the task of rising on tiptoes were investigated in a reaction time paradigm in 10 normal subjects and 18 patients with cerebellar disorders. Cerebellar dysfunction was due to either degenerative cerebellar disease, tumor, or ischemia. Displacements o

The relative importance of hyperreflexia and paresis in disturbances of voluntary arm movement was studied in a group of patients (n = 2 5 ) with spasticity arising from a unilateral ischemic cerebral lesion. Patient performance was evaluated against data obtained from normal subjects (n = 15). Spas
Reciprocal innervation of the soleus motoneurones upon initiation of voluntary ankle dorsiflexion was investigated in eight patients with Parkinson's disease. H-reflex and visually guided step tracking methods were used for testing motoneurone excitability and for controlling the timing of movement
Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) for lateral weight transfer and stability precede and accompany voluntary stepping. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) show delays in step initiation with altered APA characteristics that may reflect impaired interactions between posture and locomotion. T
