First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether doing special handwriting exercises at home for 12 weeks could improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. Fifty-three participants were split into two groups: one did the handwriting program, the other did not. The main goal was to see if the exercises improved manual dexterity, measured by a pegboard test.
