The current knowledge is based on few and heterogeneous studies with high risk of bias. Handwriting-specific training might show potential benefits on handwriting in people with PD. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to reveal the effect of handwriting training in people with PD on standardized outcome measures. Handwriting-specific training could be combined to resistance training and stretching, which seemed to influence writing performance.
