Correlation Analysis of Hand Flexibility and Balance Function in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Improved hand function correlates with better balance and shorter completion times on the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). Hand function assessments may therefore predict balance performance in patients. Future research should determine whether these functions are interdependent or operate independently.

Abstract

Improved hand function correlates with better balance and shorter completion times on the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). Hand function assessments may therefore predict balance performance in patients. Future research should determine whether these functions are interdependent or operate independently.
