  Background: Visuomotor performance can be improved by repetitive training on consecutive days. The aim of this study was to assess the training effect of visuomotor tracking in healthy subjects and hemiparetic patients with stroke and in moderately impaired patients with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: 39 healthy right-handed subjects, 15 patients after acute cerebral artery stroke, and 15 patients with mid-stage Parkinson’s disease were trained with the commercially available, multifunctional PABLOR-device. This handhold device is equipped with force and acceleration sensors and connected to a personal computer for on-line data display and data storage. On three consecutive days the subjects were trained to navigate a target through obstacles in a virtual reality environment. Performance was assessed by modulation of force product.. Read More»
