Longitudinal Speech Changes In PD and the Relationship to Limb Bradykinesia and Rigidity
Objective: We tested the assumption that speech diadochokinesis (DDK) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) parallels motor system performances by evaluating DDK changes over 12-months and testing if DDK performance predicts limb bradykinesia and rigidity UPDRS scores. Background: Studies showing that speech DDK correlates with…Atypical hemifacial spasm caused by an epidermoid cyst of the cerebellopontine angle
Objective: To describe a case of secondary hemifacial spasm with atypical features. Background: Hemifacial spasm (HS) is a peripherally induced movement disorder involving involuntary unilateral…‘Asymmetric thumb-index angle’ in PD: A new observation in an old disease
Objective: To report a novel sign on inspection in PD that is present throughout different dopaminergic states Background: Inspection is arguably one of the most…Medication effects and validity of home-based freezing tests in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Determine the validity of a ‘freezing-provoking protocol’ (FOG-PP) in the home setting and assess the effects of medication on freezing of gait (FOG) during…A novel tele-rehabilitation program aimed at reducing fall risk in Parkinson’s Disease patients
Objective: Our primary objective is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a novel falls-prevention program that uses videoconferencing technology to provide Parkinson’s Disease…STRATEGIES OF PREVENTION, TREATMENT AND FOLLOW UP THROUGH TELEHEALTH FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH PARKINSON DISEASE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: STUDY OF PROTOCOL
Objective: To propose a telehealth prevention, treatment and follow up physiotherapy protocol for monitoring a group of individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) in order to…Transcranial direct current stimulation-related changes in postural responses to perturbations are not influenced by baseline clinical characteristics in Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: To investigate the association between clinical characteristics and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-related changes in postural responses to external perturbations in people with Parkinson’s…Health instruction in Parkinson’s disease with an emphasis on the quality of life using eHealth strategies in the context of COVID-19
Objective: To develop an eHealth Physiotherapy Program (ePhysio) for remote health instruction to promote the quality of life (QOL) of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD)…Implementing a community-based Parkinson’s Disease Wellness Program during COVID
Objective: The objective is to present a successful and safe community-based Parkinson’s Disease program during a worldwide pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic shut down most…Dance training and performance in patients with Parkinson disease: effects on motor functions and patients’ well-being.
Objective: Evaluate the effects of a 16-week a specific dance training program on motor function and well-being in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD). Background: Dance…
