The Ultrastructural study of the effects of different types of chronic motor deficit on the morphology of limbic, extrapyramidal and neocortical regions of rat brain
Objective: To study the effect of chronic restraint stress and moderate motor deficit on the ultrastructure of central and lateral amygdalar nuclei, hippocampal CA1 and…The epiphenomenon of movement disorders post-stroke period
Objective: The goal of this study is to describe the clinical, paraclinical and evolutive features of patients having suffered from a movement disorder in the…Validation of a patient/caregiver questionnaire to evaluate nocturnal hypokinesia in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To develop and validate a novel questionnaire to assess various aspects related to problems experienced by PD patients when turning in or getting out…Noladin ether attenuates MPTP -induced motor deficit by abrogating pro-inflammatory cytokines and striatal neurochemical alterations in rats
Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the therapeutic potential of noladin ether- a putative endocannabinoid against MPTP-induced behavioral, biochemical and neurochemical alterations in…Quantitative demonstration of the efficacy of rotigotine transdermal patch in the treatment of nocturnal hypokinesia: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial using an axial inertial sensor
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of rotigotine transdermal patch, using a wearable sensor, to treat PD patients with nocturnal immobility. Background: Nocturnal hypokinesia is a…A step forward to the future: UPDRS kinematic measures for telemedicine
Objective: We set up an experimental instrumentation to quantify selected items of UPDRS by a Kinect technology and body sensory-network (BSN), destinated to an easy…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…A case of PD with non -motor symptoms onset
Objective: PD is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system mainly affecting the motor system. In addition to motor symptoms, PD can impair other…The finger tapping and disrupted smooth pursuit to detect the hepatic encephalopathy: Results of the subgroup analysis of movement disorders in non-Wilsonian hepatic cirrhotic patients
Objective: To identify the associated factors of bradykinesia in cirrhotic patients. Background: Reviews of the literature always mention the asterixis as a well-known examination to…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…
