Figure 2.

Scatter plots depicting the inverse relationship between Sensory Organization Test (SOT) composite equilibrium score and disease severity (above) and the direct relationship between Motor Control Test (MCT) average latency and disease severity (below). Severity was based on Movement Disorder Society–Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale.
