Objective: To translate and adapt the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's disease to Portuguese. Background: In 2014 the European Guideline for Physiotherapy in Parkinson's disease…Safety and efficacy of escalating doses of incobotulinumtoxinA (400-800U): Increasing improvements in disability due to multifocal upper- and lower-limb spasticity
Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of escalating incobotulinumtoxinA doses (400-800U) in patients with spasticity. Background: Botulinum toxin treatment at higher doses than currently…Predictors of recurrent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease and development of a predictive tool
Objective: To identify predictors of recurrent falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD); and to develop a predictive tool for identifying individuals at different categories…Eight weeks of home-based balance training not as effective as therapist-based during dual tasks
Objective: To assess the effect of balance training on dual-tasking gait, and to investigate if a home-based programme is comparable to a therapist-supervised programme. Background:…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…An innovative international educational network to improve physicians’ current management practices of patients with cervical dystonia and spasticity
Objective: The Ixcellence Network® aims to improve patient care in the fields of cervical dystonia (CD) and spasticity through the development of a high level…SPAsticity in PractiCE (SPACE) – An international, observational study of botulinum toxin type A in spasticity
Objective: To collect real-world routine clinical practice data on effectiveness, safety, and quality of life (QoL) for botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) treatment of focal…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…PD COMM Pilot: A pilot randomised controlled trial of Lee Silverman voice treatment (LSVT) versus NHS speech and language therapy versus no intervention in Parkinson’s
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a full scale trial on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two types of speech and language therapy (SLT) for…The application of mobile health technology to increase physical activity in persons with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the safety, acceptability and preliminary evidence of efficacy of a mobile health (mhealth) mediated home-based exercise program to increase physical activity in…
