There was a correlation between extensor rigidity and clinical scales (H&Y and UPDRS) for all speeds. There was a correlation between Schwab and England scale and flexor and extensor rigidity..

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fatigability was assessed by performing an experimental protocol using an isokinetic dynamometer to assess muscle function. The exercises performed in this study included maximal voluntary concentric contractions (MVCC) and maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) during knee extension. The black and gray bars represented MVIC and MVCC, respectively. At baseline, the participants performed three MVICs. Subsequently, they performed 15 MVCCs at a load of 20% of the maximum torque value measured by the MVIC. The dynamic fatiguing task consisted of 30 consecutive MVCC cycles, one every 3 s, followed by MVIC (t1∼t3) performed immediately after each MVCC cycle. This was performed in one set and continued for three sets.
