The Association Between Inhibitory Control and Freezing of Gait Severity in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between inhibitory control and freezing of gait (FOG) severity in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Inhibition deficits play a role in…Nucleotide repeats as genetic risk factors in a Swedish Parkinson’s disease cohort
Objective: To search for abnormal NRE in the following genes: ATXN2, ATXN3, CACNA1A, TBP, c9orf72, PRNP, POLG1A and TOMM40 in a Swedish PD cohort. Background:…Neuronal KIF5b deletion induces striatum-dependent locomotor impairments and defects in membrane presentation of dopamine D2 receptors
Objective: In this study we aim to elucidate the role of Kif5b motor subunit in the nigrostriatal pathway. We have generated different conditional knockout mice…Exploring novel diffusion-derived biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease Freezing of Gait
Objective: To explore the association between novel diffusion-derived structural imaging biomarkers and disease duration in Parkinson’s disease with freezing of gait (PD-FOG). Background: Increasing free-water…Effect of levodopa on fronto-parietal network connectivity in freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the effect of levodopa on fronto-parietal network (FPN) functional connectivity (FC) in Parkinson’s disease patients with (PD-FOG) and without freezing of gait…Predictors of freezing of gait in newly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease: Clinical, dopamine transporter imaging and CSF markers in the PPMI cohort
Objective: To examine whether clinical, dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers can be used to predict the later development of FOG individually…Functional Balance and Neuromuscular Strength Difficulties Like Fracture Predictors in a Parkinsonian Population
Objective: To evaluate the strength and function of the hip flexor muscles and knee extensors of elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to know possible…Longitudinal study of freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We conducted a prospective hospital based cohort study to investigate the incidence of Freezing of gait (FOG) and variables associated with onset of FOG…Freezing of gait in extrapontine myelinolysis
Background: Extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) is rarely complicated with akinetic-rigid parkinsonism. Herein we report a case with EPM presenting with freezing of gait (FOG). Methods: Case…Incidence and characteristics of gait dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To identify the effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on gait kinematics in patients with PD and describe the incidence of gait dysfunction…
