The initial motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease in relation to age at onset and gender: A Sri Lankan perspective
Objective: To investigate whether the predominant initial PD motor symptom is associated with gender or age of onset of PD in Sri Lanka. Background: Studies…Self-perception of daily performance in relation to motor performance in advanced Parkinson’s disease – Case studies
Objective: To evaluate Parkinson's disease (PD) patients' perception of their performance of daily living (ADL) in their “ON” and “OF” stages and relate them to…Evaluating Parkinsonian motor features via the routine use of consumer electronics – neuroQWERTY
Objective: Our goal was to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a novel metric, neuroQWERTY index (nQi), to characterize PD's motor component. Background: The motor…Objective decrement in Parkinson’s disease – A new parameter for the BRAIN tap test
Objective: To evaluate a new parameter – Bradykinesia Index (BI) as an new objective measure within the BRAIN (BRadykinesia Akinesia INcoordination) tap test. Background: The…Diagnostic reliability of clinical symptoms in patients with incomplete manifestation of the triad of parkinsonism compared to 18F-DOPA PET-CT MRI imaging
Objective: To describe the diagnostic reliability of the triad of clinical symptoms compared to the uptake of 18 F-DOPA PET-CT fusion MRI scan. To compare…A validation study of a smartphone-based finger tapping application for quantitative assessment of bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We developed an application of smartphone tapper (SmpT) and sought to determine whether SmpT is applicable for clinical purpose by comparing SmpT parameters to…Intraoperative localization of beta band and high-frequency oscillations within the subthalamic nucleus
Objective: To investigate whether beta band activity (13-30Hz) and high-frequency oscillations (150-400Hz) arise from the same spatial location within the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of Parkinson's…Construction of a levodopa-response index from wearable sensors for quantifying Parkinson’s disease motor functions: Preliminary results
Objective: The goal of the study is to investigate whether wrist worn motion sensors are feasible tools to measure motor functions in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Imitation of hand movements in Parkinson’s disease: A comparison with visual cueing
Objective: To explore imitation and its therapeutic potential in Parkinson's disease (PD) using kinematic analysis of hand movements. Background: Action observation and imitation have been…Objective movement recording in PD patient before and after STN-DBS
Objective: Case study: objective recording of motor fluctuations and dyskinesia in PD patient before and after STN-DBS by using continuous accelerometry system and automated computer…
