Is there a specific visuo-spatial impairment in Parkinsonians?

S Della Sala et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

Twenty-five non-demented patients with mild, idiopathic, Parkinson's disease were compared with 25 age and education matched normal controls on a visuo-spatial performance task, whose characteristics were directional forecast, with minimal motor requirement and a maximal spatial load. No statistical support was found for the existence of spatial impairment in these patients.
