Jürgen Konczak, Ph.D., professor of kinesiology and director of the Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory, gave a lecture at the University of Essen Medical Center, Germany, to a group of neurologists, fellows, and medical students. He presented and discussed research on how body awareness and haptic perception (i.e., recognizing objects through touch) changes in patients with Parkinson’s disease and how these changes do affect the patient’s motor behavior. His talk was titled, “Somatosensory dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease.”
