abstract = {IntroductionPatients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are
known to have decision-making impairments in tasks involving
probabilistic information. How PD patients utilize
task-relevant probabilistic advance information to plan and
initiate common motor tasks like grasping has not yet been
studied.MethodsPD patients (n = 15, OFF medication) and
control participants repeatedly grasped and lifted an
object, the weight of which could be light, medium, or
heavy. Visual cues provided explicit probabilistic
information about the upcoming weight at the start of each
grip-lift trial. This information allows the force of the
grasping fingers to be scaled predictively so that it
matches the likely weight, with a suitable rate of initial
force increase. Deterministic cues announced the upcoming
weight with certainty in other grip-lift trials. In a weight
adjustment experiment, participants associated each
probabilistic cue with a specific heaviness.ResultsThe
weight adjustment experiments showed that the probabilistic
cues were understood correctly. However, PD patients
utilized the probabilistic information significantly less
than controls during the grip-lift task. Specifically,
patients did not initiate their grasp more forcefully when
probabilistic cues announced a high likelihood $(66.7\%$
probability) of a heavy weight, in contrast to controls.
Thus, probabilistic cues that encouraged a more vigorous
action had no effect in PD. Nevertheless, patients and
controls scaled their forces appropriately when
deterministic cues announced the forthcoming weights
unambiguously.ConclusionsPD patients do not invest a high
movement effort to initiate a grip-lift unless the necessity
of such a vigorous action initiation is decidedly clear.},
