Incobotulinum toxin type A for the treatment of biceps/triceps co-contraction due to obstetrical brachial plexus lesion
Objective: The injection of Incobotulinum toxin type A associated with physical therapy may improve the kinematics of flexion and extension of the elbow after obstetrical…Use of the Non-Medication Complex in the Treatment of the Spasticity
Objective: The effect of the non-medication (physiotherapy) complex (ultratonetherapy, low-frequent variable magnetic field and balneothrapy) on the patients having spasticity was investigated. Background: 110 patients…The role of immediate communication by text or phone calls by patients with fluctuation motor complaints in Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of immediate response by phone/text messages to questions of patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders Background: Communicating with…The BlueSky Project: monitoring motor and non-motor characteristics of people with Parkinson’s disease in the laboratory, a simulated apartment, and home and community settings
Objective: We present data collected for the BlueSky Project which aims to develop novel assessments of motor and non-motor function using mobile and wearable technology.…Quantitative assessment of the hand motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease based on a custom wearable device: A Proof-of-Principle Study
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a wrist-worn wearable device to assist with the quantitative assessment of hand motor…Instrumented gait analysis identifies potential predictors for Parkinson’s disease converters
Objective: This longitudinal prospective observational study investigated if gait can predict Parkinson’s disease (PD) conversion from a cohort of community-dwelling older adults. Background: PD is…Smartphone App-Based Assessment of Gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if gait metrics derived from the App correlated with clinical symptoms and functional performance in…How accurate are exercise logbooks? A comparison of participant and device recorded exercise records in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare adherence to exercise between participant logbook records and device recorded measures to determine: if participant logbooks were accurate, and if there were…Arm swing asymmetry in Parkinson Disease patients using a portable RGBD camera
