What is Finger tapping analysis in patients with Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism about?
The goal of this study was to investigate repetitive finger tapping patterns in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), progressive supranuclear palsy-Richardson syndrome (PSP-R), or multiple system atrophy of parkinsonian type (MSA-P). The finger tapping performance was objectively assessed in PD (n = 13), PSP-R (n = 15), and MSA-P (n = 14) patients and matched healthy controls (HC; n = 14), using miniature inertial sensors positioned on the thumb and index finger, providing spatio-temporal kinematic parameters. The main finding was the lack or only minimal progressive reduction in amplitude during the finger tapping in PSP-R patients, similar to HC, but significantly different from the sequence effect (progressive decrement) in both PD and MSA-P patients. The mean negative amplitude slope of À0.12°/cycle revealed less progression of amplitude decrement even in comparison to HC (À0.21°/cycle, p = 0.032), and particularly from PD (À0.56°/cycle, p = 0.001), and MSA-P patients (À1.48°/cycle, p = 0.003). No significant differences were found in the average finger separation amplitudes between PD, PSP-R and MSA-P patients (p msa-pd = 0.726, p msa-psp = 0.363, p psp-pd = 0.726). The lac
