Parkinsonian Rigidity Shows Variable Properties Depending on the Elbow Joint Angle
Parkinsonian rigidity has been thought to be constant through a full range of joint angle. The aim of this study was to perform a detailed investigation of joint angle dependency of rigidity. We first measured muscle tone at the elbow joint in 20 healthy subjects and demonstrated that an angle of ap...
