Can treadmill training facilitate the dual-task gait in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: Investigate the effects of a single session of treadmill gait training combined with cognitive tasks on dual-task gait in Parkinson's disease. Background: The loss…Classification and recommendation of nonpharmacological therapies for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: A multidisciplinary specialized treatment including physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy (OT) associated to the ideal pharmacological treatment and surgical is recommended to…The effects of 60 Hz frequency of STN-DBS on gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effect of low frequency (60Hz) deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) on gait in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD)…Improvement of foot progression in cervical dystonia using osteopathic manipulative medicine
Objective: To determine if osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) can improve gait biomechanics in people with cervical dystonia (CD). Background: CD is a neurological disorder characterized…Effects of plantar automated mechanical stimulation (AMPS) on motor symptoms of patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease: Preliminary data of a double blind randomized clinical trial
Objective: To evaluate the effect of one session treatment with autometed mechanical peripheral stimulation (AMPS) on gait and motor functions of patients with advanced Parkinson's…A double-blind randomized controlled trial of cognitive training for freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the potential of cognitive training to improve symptoms of freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a…Is the PPN a valuable target for deep brain stimulation in treatment of Parkinsonian disorders? Experience of a patient’s series
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) has been reported to improve motor symptoms in idiopathic (IPS) and in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes…Physical therapy, a third wheel in the management of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To reinforce the importance of physical therapy in the management of Parkinson's disease. Background: Unsteadiness, falling, and tendency to fall are frequent symptoms of…A phase II, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial on a high-intensity exercise and fall prevention boot camp for Parkinson’s disease: Feasibility and safety
Objective: To test the feasibility and safety of a high-intensity exercise and fall prevention boot camp (HIBC) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Most…Functional motor outcomes after globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation in Huntington´s disease – A case report
