“…Therefore, the current case report may support the findings of cross-sectional studies [ 13 , 14 ]. In addition, motor estimation errors in patients with PD showed similar changes to those in older people and patients with stroke [ 12 , 22 ]. Moreover, UPDRS part II was 3 points, part III–IV was 1 point each, and FOGQ was 7 points worse.…”

Background and Objectives: This report described two cases with clear longitudinal changes in motor estimation error (difference between the motor imagery and motor execution) and their progression and motor and activities of daily living (ADL) function changes in patients with PD. Materials and Methods: Patient 1 was a 68-year-old man (Hoehn and Yahr [H and Y] stage: IV, diagnosed with PD for 11.8 years) and patient 2 was a 68-year-old woman (H and Y stage: II, diagnosed with PD for 9.6 years). Imagined two-step test (iTST), two-step test (TST), and PD-related assessments (Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale [UPDRS], and Freezing of Gait Questionnaire [FOGQ]) were assessed at baseline and after 6 months. Motor estimation error was calculated as the iTST distance minus TST distance. Results: In patient 1, motor estimation error was greater after 6 months (baseline: 5.7 [4.8%]/after 6 months: 25.7 cm [26.1%]). Moreover, UPDRS and FOGQ total scores deteriorated after 6 months (UPDRS total: 29/34 point, and FOGQ: 9/16 point). Conversely, in patient 2, motor estimation error did not change notably (−3.6 [7.6%]/−2.5 cm [7.0%]), while UPDRS and FOGQ total scores improved after 6 months (UPDRS total: 17/12 point, and FOGQ: 6/1 point). Conclusions: This report indicated that greater motor estimation error may be associated with declining motor and ADL function and disease progression in patients with PD.
