## Abstract Individuals with Parkinson's disease show dramatic improvements in their ability to move when medicated. However, the neural cause of this improvement is unclear. One hypothesis is that neural activation patterns, as measured by surface electromyography (EMG), are normalized by medicati
The improvements in the motor ability in patients with Parkinson's disease due to antiparkinsonian medication is well-known and widely documented. Recent results, based both on kinematic parameters and standard electromyographic (EMG) signal analysis, clearly indicated that the medication reduced, a
