    Treatment associated improvement in motor scores is not reflected in improvement in hand dexterity in Parkinson’s disease patients

    S. Filipović, A. Kačar (Beograd, Serbia)

    Objective: To check whether there is a correlation between measures of hand dexterity and standard motor scores in Parkinson’s diseases (PD). Even more importantly, whether…
