OC, hand opening/closing; Δ, change; CV, coefficient of variation; PD, Parkinson’s Disease; MDS-UPDRS-III, International Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale. a: these P values were determined using paired t tests. b: these P values were determined using the Wilcoxon test. Asterisks () indicate significant correlations between kinematic parameters and the score on the corresponding MDS-UPDRS item: ; .
