HSCL research shows somatosensory training can improve sensory and motor function in Parkinson’s disease

Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory (HSCL) members have published a research article, “Somatosensory training improves proprioception and untrained motor function in Parkinson’s disease,” in Frontiers in Neurology. Their research investigates whether proprioception, a common feature of Parkinson’s disease, improves with robot-aided training. Authors of the publication include Juergen Konczak, Ph.D., professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of HSCL, Naveen Elangovan, postdoctoral researcher in the School, and Paul Tuite, professor in the Medical School’s Department of Neurology at the University of Minnesota.
