Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.

STR-27-02
STR-27-01
Limitations: Only current scoped checks; archived captures not authenticated against live originals.
Parkinson’s disease — transfer
- access status: accepted_manuscript_body
Ten men with mild PD and ten male controls; independent OFF-state rise required. Seat set near 90° knees, feet 20 cm apart, specified thigh support. Mean duration 1.97 s OFF, 1.86 ON, 1.89 controls. PD hip torque–duration correlations −.71/−.80, knee nonsignificant; control knee r=−.67. Independent isokinetic strength measurement is distinct from rise time.
Limitations: Only the enumerated transfer-relevant components were adjudicated. Source availability does not imply every statement, supplement, figure or raw datum was checked.

Parkinson’s disease strength component — Inkster torque definition, speed and reliability subset
Methods confirms 10 male PD/10 controls, Kin-Com testing at 45°/s, range-average torque normalized to mass, three maximal repetitions, and separate-day reliability in five PD participants. Table 2 supports greater hip deficits.
Source locator: Methods and Table 2
Limitations: AI-assisted source comparison; no raw-data verification.
Parkinson’s disease strength component — Residual isokinetic calibration, posture and reliability reporting
Methods confirms calibration with known weights to within ±1 N; hip tested supine, knee seated with hip flexion 90°; three submaximal and one maximal practice followed by three 45°/s repetitions; range-average torque normalized to mass. Five PD participants had separate-day retests; the text calls ICCs high but prints no numerical coefficients or CIs. The report’s procedural details and precision limitation are supported.
