Abstract: Mirror movements in Parkinson's disease: effect of dopaminergic drugsMirror movements refer to involuntary movements that emulate voluntary activity in contralateral homologous body regions. 1 We recently described this phenomenon in the less affected limb in early asymmetric parkinsonism.2 The effects of time and dopaminer- gic drugs have not been examined.We now report on the re-evaluation of this clinical sign in a subset of patients with clinically definite Parkinson's disease who were undergoing dopamine replacement therapy, from our original cohort.
