Abstrakt: Background: One of the more challenging daily-life actions for Parkinson's disease patients is starting to stand from a sitting position. Parkinson's disease patients are known to have difficulty with self-initiated movements and benefit from external cues. However, the brain processes underlying external cueing as an aid remain unknown. The advent of mobile electroencephalography (EEG) now enables the investigation of these processes in dynamic sit-to-stand movements.
Objective: To identify cortical correlates of the mechanisms underlying auditory cued sit-to-stand movement in Parkinson's disease.
Methods: Twenty-two Parkinson's disease patients and 24 healthy age-matched participants performed self-initiated and externally cued sit-to-stand movements while cortical activity was recorded through 32-channel mobile EEG.
Results: Overall impaired integration of sensory and motor information can be seen in the Parkinson's disease patients exhibiting less modulation in the θ band during movement compared to healthy age-matched controls. How Parkinson's disease patients use external cueing of sit-to-stand movements can be seen in larger high β power over sensorimotor brain areas compared to healthy controls, signaling sensory integration supporting the maintenance of motor output. This appears to require changes in cognitive processing to update the motor plan, reflected in frontal θ power increases in Parkinson's disease patients when cued.
Conclusion: These findings provide the first neural evidence for why and how cueing improves motor function in sit-to-stand movement in Parkinson's disease. The Parkinson's disease patients' neural correlates indicate that cueing induces greater activation of motor cortical areas supporting the maintenance of a more stable motor output, but involves the use of cognitive resources to update the motor plan. © 2024 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
