The research presented in this thesis investigates the motoric versus perceptual
basis of bimanual coordination stability. A general introductory section provides an
overview of Parkinson's disease, upper limb coordination in healthy younger and healthy
older adults and individuals with Parkinson's disease, and the current views of the basis
of bimanual coordination stability. Following the general introductory section are two
manuscripts for the two experiments. Both experiments followed similar paradigms.
Healthy young adult~ participated in the first experiment and individuals with
Parkinson's disease and healthy older adults participated in the second experiment.
Following the presentation of the empirical work is a general discussion section.
This section is intended to summarize the two experiments, to discuss potential
methodological issues and to provide ideas for future experiments. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
