Antagonist muscle activity during reactive balance responses is elevated in Parkinson's disease and in balance impairment

2018-06-08

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Abnormal antagonist leg muscle activity could indicate increased muscle co-contraction and clarify mechanisms of balance impairments in Parkinson's disease (PD). Prior studies in carefully selected patients showed PD patients demonstrate earlier, longer, and larger antagonist muscle activation during reactive balance responses to perturbations. RESEARCH QUESTION: Here, we tested whether antagonist leg...
