Chopsticks are a primary eating utensil in East Asia, but systematic assessments of chopsticks skills in parkinsonian disorders is lacking. We aimed to identify any differences in chopsticks skills in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP), including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and corticobasal syndrome (CBS).
