Self-reported motor-related impairments reflect not only motor signs/symptoms but also other self-reported nonmotor measures. This may indicate (1) a direct impact of nonmotor symptoms on motor-related functioning and/or (2) the existence of general response tendencies in how patients self-rate symptoms. Our findings suggest further investigation into the suitability of MDS-UPDRS II to assess motor-related impairments. © 2021 The Authors.
