Abstract
⺠We investigated side-related changes in response to balance perturbation in early PD. ⺠Toe-down rotation of a platform evokes a medium-latency response (MLR) in the tibialis. ⺠The spinal (MLR1) and supraspinal (MLR2) components are abnormal in the affected side. ⺠Poor MLR1 reduction by holding indicates unilateral impairment of descending control. ⺠Increased MLR2 is related to abnormal basal-ganglia ascending influence to the cortex.
