This experiment investigates movement coordination in Parkinson's disease (PD) subjects.
Seventeen PD patients and 12 elderly control subjects performed several handwriting-like …

… As the predominant frequencies in handwriting are close to 5 Hz (Teulings and Maarse … In
speculating on the type of movement information stored in handwriting memory Teulings et al. (…

Methods of recording and processing handwriting movements by means of a computer-controlled
digitizer are discussed. It is concluded that the presence of measurement ‘noise’ in the …

Levodopa treatment is used to reduce rigidity and bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
This study tracked the handwriting and speech performance of 10 PD patients at 30-minute …

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients often show reductions in writing size (micrographia) as the
length of the text they produce increases. The cause for these reductions in stroke size are …

In an experimental study on movement latencies and durations of letter-writing tasks we tested

Ongoing monitoring of neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) is important to
maximize treatment outcome, improve medication adherence and reduce re-hospitalization. …

Monitoring drug-induced side effects is especially important for patients who undergo treatment
with antipsychotic medications, as these drugs often produce extrapyramidal side effects …

A handwriting pattern is considered as a sequence strokes. Replications of a pattern may
be generated from a single, higher-level memory representation, acting as a motor program. …
