Unlabelled: Studies which have investigated muscular performance during the initial stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) without L-dopa treatments were not found.

Objective: to assess whether muscular performance, work and power, of the trunk and lower limbs in L-dopa naïve patients in the early stages of PD was lower than those of healthy subjects and to compare muscular performance between the lower limbs.

Method: Ten subjects with PD, Hoehn and Yahr (HY) I-II, L-dopa naïve and 10 subjects in the control group were assessed with the isokinetic dynamometer.
