Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Arm swing asymmetry is an early sign of Parkinson's disease. • Normative data on arm swing asymmetry in 60 healthy subjects are reported. • Healthy subjects showed a high degree of arm swing asymmetry. • Performing cognitive tasks while walking increases arm swing asymmetry. • Normative data for physiological arm swing asymmetry are suggested.
