Abstract:People with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience changes in fine motor skills, which is viewed as one of the hallmark signs of this disease. Due to its non-invasive nature and portability, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising tool for assessing changes related to fine motor skills.
Aim:We aim to compare activation patterns in the primary motor cortex using fNIRS, comparing volunteers with PD and sex-and age-matched control participants during a fine motor task and walking. Moreover, inte… Show more
