  Fig. 1 UPDRS part III scores (A), upper extremity bradykinesia subscores (C) and time to perform sequential buttoning and unbuttoning (B) are shown. The time for buttoning and unbuttoning was noted to decrease both immediately following rTMS and at 24 hours, whereas UPDRS part III and bradykinesia scores were largely unchanged. rTMS: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, UPDRS: Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale.
