Longitudinal assessment of caregiver strain in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine changes in caregivers and predictors of increased caregiver strain in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Caregiver strain can increase with advanced PD. In…Assessing the impact of PD motor symptom states on quality of life in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of duration of PD symptom states on quality of life (QoL) among patients with…Quantification of postural stability in Parkinson’s disease patients utilizing mobile technology
Objective: To validate the use of a mobile device and an associated biomechanical outcome to objectively quantify postural stability in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Potential advantages of high resolution lead designs for deep brain stimulation
Objective: The aim of this study is to summarize potential stimulation and sensing advantages of high resolution DBS leads. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is…Can body worn cameras help us understand the complex relationship between physical activity and falls in people with Parkinson’s?
Objective: To explore barriers and facilitators to physical activity and examine the relationship with falls for people with Parkinson's (PwP) using body worn cameras. Background:…Evaluating Parkinsonian motor features via the routine use of consumer electronics – neuroQWERTY
Objective: Our goal was to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a novel metric, neuroQWERTY index (nQi), to characterize PD's motor component. Background: The motor…sFIDA: A sensitive diagnostic assay for quantification of α-synuclein aggregates
Objective: Optimizing of our sFIDA (surface-based fluorescence intensity distribution analysis) assay for specific detection and quantification of single α-synuclein aggregates. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is…Wrist reveals the fall risk in activities of daily living
Objective: The focus of our cross-sectional study is on investigation of complex measures in terms of the fall risk (FR). The assessment was performed with…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…Validation of an electronic motor diary for patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the reliability and compliance to electronic motor diary in patients with PD. Background: Complexity of motor complications in Parkinson's disease (PD) makes…
