Longitudinal Speech Changes In PD and the Relationship to Limb Bradykinesia and Rigidity
Objective: We tested the assumption that speech diadochokinesis (DDK) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) parallels motor system performances by evaluating DDK changes over 12-months and testing if DDK performance predicts limb bradykinesia and rigidity UPDRS scores. Background: Studies showing that speech DDK correlates with…THE EFFECT OF A HOME BASED SENSORIMOTOR CONTROL EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR CERVICAL DYSTONIA PATIENTS UNDER TREATMENT WITH BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTIONS: OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a home-based exercise program focusing on sensorimotor control additional to standard care in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia (CD).…iFall: Co-producing an instrumented application prototype for falls reporting in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To work with those affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD) to co-produce a prototype of an instrumented application for reporting falls (iFall). Background: Falls commonly…EFFECTIVENESS OF NEUROFUNCTIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY ON THE QUALITY OF SLEEP OF INDIVIDUALS WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE: A SERIES OF CASES
