Rapid blinking as an early clinical marker of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: First, to determine the utility of ‘rapid blinking’ compared to spontaneous blinking in the identification of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Second, to identify whether a…Automated Mechanical Peripheral Stimulation for walking rehabilitation in Parkinson’s disease: a systematic review
Objective: This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy of automated mechanical peripheral stimulation (AMPS) as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: One of…Can reduced attention or visuoexecutive functioning predict perceived walking difficulties in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD)?
Objective: Objective: To define whether attention or visuoexecutive functioning predict perceived walking difficulties (i.e. 3 years later) in people with PD. Background: Background: A previous…Functional Outcomes Following a Group Exercise and Education Program in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: This study aims to determine if the functional outcomes and HRQoL improve after an 8-week group exercise and education program. Background: Patients with Parkinson’s…A qualitative evaluation of the health-related quality of life impact on informal caregivers to patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension
Objective: This study aimed to explore the impact of caring for an individual with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) through qualitative interviews with informal caregivers and…Parkinson’s Disease, Cognitive Function: Exploration of the Relation of Multi-Domain Computerized Cognitive Testing and IADL (instrumental activities of daily living) and Neuro-QoL Upper Extremity Function (Fine Motor, ADL)
Objective: Explore and compare the associations of upper extremity function and global cognitive score to impairment of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in people…Wearable sensors are able to identify individuals in the prodromal phase of X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism
Objective: To identify subclinical changes of balance and gait in patients with X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) and non-manifesting carriers of the XDP-causing mutation. Background: XDP is…Fragile X-Associated Tremor Ataxia Syndrome Rating Scale (FXTAS-RS): development process using the Delphi method
Objective: To develop a revised and improved version of the FXTAS-RS. Background: Accurate measurement of FXTAS motor symptoms is vital to provide valid and reliable…Pyramidal pathway changes at conventional brain 3T-MRI in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia
Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the occurrence of motor cortex (MC) and cortico-spinal tract (CST) magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities in patients with hereditary spastic…Long-term clinical outcome of deep brain stimulation in pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration: a retrospective observational study
Objective: To report the long-term clinical follow-up data of PKAN patients who underwent DBS implantation in three tertiary movement disorder centers. Background: Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration…
