title = "Comparison between Parkinson disease patients and healthy subjects in a procedural motor learning task: preliminary results",
abstract = "We are studying if Parkinson disease patients (PD) have a learning deficit, particularly a procedural motor learning deficit. PD patients, age-matched and young adult controls were asked to execute point-to-point movements in a 'virtual mechanical environment' generated by a portable robot. We compare the learning rate of subjects while they learned to manipulate the novel force field. Our preliminary results suggest that PD patients present a deficit in the rate of procedural motor learning and that we can estimate their learning specific 'equivalent' age.",
