Dopaminergic influence on the control of the maximum force with Parkinson's patients

Introduction: The muscular coordination of movement is the integrity of the cerebellar and basal ganglia loop. The aim of the study was to examine to what extent the dopaminergic medication for Parkinson's patients who reached maximum strength increase. Method: 5 Parkinson's patients were using an isometric force measurement device (Isocheck, company Mechatronic) 4 indicator movements. The test protocol included the movements upper arm abduction and adduction and hip abduction and adduction. The maximum force was without dopaminergic medication (off-phase) spontaneous and concentration after 30 seconds. Subseque…
