BackgroundBradykinesia is the hallmark sign of parkinsonism. We recently proposed redefining bradykinesia as a complex of motor abnormalities, each reflecting separate pathophysiological elements.ObjectiveTo analyze the 'bradykinesia complex' in Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy elderly individuals.MethodsWe conducted a finger-tapping kinematic analysis in 350 individuals (192 PD patients OFF medication and 158 healthy controls). A subsample of 129 patients was also tested ON medication. Group comparisons were followed by unsupervised clustering. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses defined optimal kinematic cut-offs to detect individual motor abnormalities. We then quantified the prevalence and combinations of these features per subject. Using Bayes' theorem, we estimated the probability of PD based on the observed combination of bradykinesia features. Regression analyses served to identify predictors of kinematic alterations.ResultsPatients exhibited reduced velocity and amplitude as well as altered rhythm and sequence effect compared with controls (all P-values ConclusionsThe detailed bradykinesia features assessment was crucial for differentiating PD individuals from controls. Diagnostic accuracy requires considering multiple motor abnormalities together, irrespective of the specific combination. Advancing our understanding of the 'bradykinesia complex' has clinical and pathophysiological implications. © 2025 The Author(s).
