Journal ArticleDOI
Age-Related Kinematic Differences as Influenced by Task Difficulty, Target Size, and Movement Amplitude
TL;DR: Data reveal that manipulation of target size and movement amplitude yield two distinct factors that contribute to slowness of movement in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forearm EMG response activity during motor performance in individuals prone to increased stress reactivity.
TL;DR: The findings support the view that stress and muscular tension are closely related and may provide a clue to the origin of WRUEDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parkinsonian Patients Reduce Their Stroke Size with Increased Processing Demands
TL;DR: PD patients reduce the size of their handwriting strokes when concurrent processing load increases, and elderly controls did not reduce their stroke size when the number of words to be written increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypometria and bradykinesia during drawing movements in individuals with Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: It was found that movement amplitude error was less when the pen was 20 times heavier than the normal pen and that the increased load may dampen abnormal limb-stiffness characteristics induced by PD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement structure in young and elderly adults during goal-directed movements of the left and right arm.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that previous research utilizing the dominant arm can be generalized to the non-dominant arm because performance was similar for the two arms, and as expected, the elderly adults showed shorter relative primary submovement lengths and longer relative primarySubmovement durations.
