...Abnormalities of cortical excitability [64, 65], somatosensory function [66], and sensorimotor integration [67, 68] and changes in the pattern of activation in the motor and premotor cortices and the supplementary motor area [69, 70] may also contribute to deficits in movement execution in PD [47]....

...This suggests that these symptoms may be secondary to peripheral mechanisms associated with sustained muscle contraction in off-dystonia, rigidity, or musculoskeletal problems, as well as with primary somatosensory mechanisms.(117) Sensory symptoms are more frequent in the legs than the arms, with the neck and face being rarely affected....
