Average indices of performance (IP) characterizing cognition, RTs, posture&balance as well as motor and tactile performance. Higher indices were found for the AD group in all domains, with largest advantages for posture and balance. In all cases, performances of the left and right hand were pooled. “Cognition” (p = 0.010) comprises RSPM and AKT. “Reaction times” (p = 0.003) were averaged for all fingers and for the left and right hand. “Posture&balance” (p < 0.001) comprises Romberg test, Standing-turn test and Up&go test. “Motor performance” (p = 0.012) comprises Steadiness, Aiming, Pin plugging and Tapping. “Tactile performance” (p = 0.005) comprises touch thresholds and 2-point-discrimination thresholds. Vertical bars show standard error of the mean. Asterisks mark significant differences between the two groups.
