Effects of levodopa on adaptation of reactive stepping in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Participants with PD were able to improve postural stepping responses with practice and this learning was improved by levodopa. Background: Protective steps in response…LSVT-BIG© case studies: A snapshot of observations
Objective: This case presentation will outline two clients treated with LSVT –BIG and share some observations of the technique. Background: It is estimated that seven…Maintenance of balance function in patients with HD treated with deutetrabenazine, as measured by Berg balance test (BBT) in First-HD
Objective: To assess the effect of deutetrabenazine treatment on balance using the BBT in patients with HD in First-HD. Background: Patients with HD have disrupted…The clinical effects of mucuna and green tea in combination with levodopa-benserazide in advanced Parkinson’s disease: Experience from a case report
Objective: To describe the clinical effects of combined natural dopaminergic drugs with conventional levodopa therapy in a PD patient with motor and non-motor complications. Background:…Clinical benefits of vestibular rehabilitation in neurodegenerative diseases
Objective: To assess the benefits of vestibular rehabilitation using virtual reality technology through pre and post application of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the…Botulinum toxin treatment of freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease patients as reflected in functional magnetic resonance imaging of leg movement
Objective: To reflect botulinum toxin treatment of freezing of gait in Parkinson´s disease patients in functional magnetic resonance imaging of leg movement. Background: Freezing of…Improvement of freezing of gait with intestinal levodopa infusion in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To determine whether levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) infusion is able to improve freezing of gait (FOG) in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: FOG…Neural plasticity and freezing of gait: Stepping through the FoG
Objective: 1) To determine the efficacy of our cognitively challenging Agility Boot Camp (ABC-C) rehabilitation intervention and 2) to evaluate neural mechanisms and plasticity within…Influence of lateral wedges on postural control in patient with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of lateral wedge to balance in Parkinson's disease. Background: Although postural instability is the…A phase II, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial on a high-intensity exercise and fall prevention boot camp for Parkinson’s disease: Signal of efficacy
Objective: To determine if a high intensity exercise and fall prevention boot camp (HIBC) would produce greater benefit than a low intensity control (Fitness Counts…
