Hilary, My understanding of movement issues is that Parkinson's erases
muscle memory. That would include touch typing, Keyboard music, dancing,
driving ... anything we've learned well enough to delegate control to our
subconscious mind. I've found it's possible to re-program many things to
be consciously controlled by paying attention to what I'm doing. Another
thing that seems useful is to choreograph several ways of doing a task so
I can switch to the next mode when my nerves busy out. They all come back
after being idled for a while. All the best, George

This is very interesting. Maybe it explains some of the problems some
of us have.
e.g. 1. inability to do two things at the same time, e.g. walk and
talk
2. breaking up of what are usually automatic actions into a
string of separate actions, e.g. turning over in bed, or turning around.
Maybe someone who is more knowledgeable on the subject can comment?
