In some people with Parkinson\u2019s disease (PwPD), transient reductions in neural excitation (motor segmentation) reduce rates of force development (RFD) and prolong contractions. Segmentation has strong relationships with time and rate-based measures of slowing in rapid contractions and is reliably measured from the second derivative of force (F\u201d(t)). We sought more information about how segmentation affects neuromuscular control in PwPD. Aim 1 was to determine the prevalence of PwPD with segmentation (PD\n                    <jats:sub>Seg<\/jats:sub>\n                    ). Aim 2 was to determine how force performance differs in PD\n                    <jats:sub>Seg<\/jats:sub>\n                    , PwPD without segmentation (PD\n                    <jats:sub>NoSeg<\/jats:sub>\n                    ), and OA. Aim 3 was to quantify force segment durations. Fifty-seven PwPD ON medication and 22 OA performed rapid isometric finger abduction contractions to 20\u201360% of maximal voluntary contraction force. The median number of force segments to 90% of peak force were measured from F\u201d(t) zero crossings. Additional outcomes included median times to peak force (tPF) and peak RFD (tRFD), and peak RFD (RFDpk). 68% of PwPD had segmentation (median segments\u2009\u2265\u20092, 95% CI [0.55 0.80]).
