Visuomotor control in patients with Parkinson's disease

摘要

Previous studies have suggested that the deteriorated visuomotor control in patients with PD (Parkinson's disease) is due to deficits in various aspects of the sensory-motor processing rather than motor control itself. In the current study, by taking a control-theoretic approach, we systematically examined how PD and antiparkinsonian medication affect visuomotor control and the underlying sensory-motor system.
