## 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 Shortβterm challenges with dopaminergic agents are used in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) to predict the therapeutic effect of sustained levodopa treatment, but falseβnegative results often occur. We prospectively evaluated 74 patients with clinically diagnosed IPD a
## 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 Movement kinematics of the transport and manipulation components of a doubleβstep prehension task were studied in eight Parkinson patients and eight control subjects. The aims were to (a) assess the effects of a spatial perturbation upon the movement for the two groups and (b) add data
Iron may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have shown that the iron-transporting glycoprotein lactoferrin (LF) and its receptor are increased in the substantia nigra (SN) in PD. We investigated whether plasma levels of LF are altered in doparespon
