Proprioceptive training as a means to enhance sensorimotor function in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify whether proprioceptive function in Parkinson's disease (PD) can be enhanced by specialized visuomotor training that emphasizes precise movements and determine if such…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).…Interleaved pro- and anti-saccade performance in Huntington’s disease
Objective: To investigate suppression of automatic movements and execution of voluntary motor commands in an early stage Huntington's disease patients. Background: The ability to suppress…How does cognition affect reaching in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To explore differences in kinematic parameters of reach in those with Parkinson's disease (PD) classified into normal cognition (PD-NC), mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and…Motor-related brain changes associated with acute administration of trihexyphenidyl in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The goal of the current study was to assess task-related brain activity in patients with cervical dystonia (CD) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)…Novel training based on declarative memory cues improves gait perfromance in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A randomized clinical trial
Objective: To verify the long-term efficiency of a new strategy based on declarative memory cues to improve the gait performance and independence in activities of…Improved motor functioning of people with Parkinson’s disease following dance intervention
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of dance as an additional treatment for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Common pharmacological treatments for PD lessen the…Diagnostic sensitivity and remote monitoring of motor and non-motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine if 24-hour tri-axial accelerometer and heart rate measurements can (1) discriminate Parkinson's disease (PD) from healthy controls and (2) monitor severity of…Single unit activity of medial thalamus during goal-directed motor and cognitive behavior in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: To 1) study neuronal activity of medial thalamic nuclei (MD, CM-Pf) and its role in cognitive and motor human activity and 2) evaluate neuronal…Effects of a 12-week exercise program on cognition in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week vigorous exercise program to improve primarily cognition and secondarily motor function and quality of life in patients…
