Submovements in manual tracking: people with Parkinson’s disease produce more submovements than age-matched controls
The ability to smoothly track showed an age-related decline, with PwP producing more errors and using more submovements. This may be due to reduced automaticity in movement production. The findings of the study can be used to guide optimal movement frequencies for motor training for older adults and PwP.
