Opposite Effects of Visual Cueing During Writing-Like Movements of Different Amplitudes in Parkinsons Disease

Conclusions. Visual target lines of 1.0 cm improved the writing of sequential loops in contrast to lines spaced at 0.6 cm. These results illustrate that, unlike for gait, visual cueing for fine-motor tasks requires a differentiated approach, taking into account the possible increases of accuracy constraints imposed by cueing.
