Falls in people with Parkinson’s disease: Results from a Multidisciplinary Movement Disorders Clinic in Singapore
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of falls in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and their associations with age, disease stage, gait freezing and speed, postural…Adolescent onset RBD converting to PD after 48 years
Objective: To present a patient with adolescent onset dream enactment behaviour who developed PD 48 years later. Background: RBD typically occurs after age 50, and…Longitudinal alpha-synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid in early Parkinson’s disease, prodromal PD and healthy controls
Objective: To examine the longitudinal relationships between total alpha-synuclein (aSyn) changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), clinical measures, and factors that may influence CSF aSyn in…Dopaminergic neurons in Substantia Nigra pars compacta code the vigor of movement sequences
Objective: Assess the correlates of movement vigor in Substantia Nigra dopaminergic neurons Background: Current basal ganglia models have focused on the role of dopamine in…Recruitment of Minority populations with Parkinson’s disease at an Urban Hospital
Objective: To evaluate diagnostic disparities in Parkinson’s disease (PD) through recruitment of underrepresented minorities into a PD screening study. Background: African-Americans are less likely than…Immediate effects of walking training with Honda Walking Assist Device on gait parameters of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To verify the immediate effects of walking training with Honda Walking Assist Device (HWAD: Honda Motor Co., Ltd, Japan) on gait parameters in Parkinson’s…Using APPs in a Movement Disorders clinic can quickly and efficiently increase the number of new patients seen without compromising patient satisfaction
Objective: Using APPs in a Movement Disorders clinic can quickly and efficiently increase the number of new patients seen without compromising patient satisfaction The purpose…Improving compliance to Parkinsonism’s pharmacotherapy amongst patients attending a Movement Disorders Clinic (MDC)
Objective: To improve patients’ compliance with Parkinsonism's pharmacotherapy to achieve more accurate clinical assessment in an outpatient setting. Background: Patients with Parkinsonism are encouraged to…The scaling properties of chorea and levodopa-induced dyskinesia are similar to voluntary movements
Objective: Explore whether levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and chorea share voluntary movement characteristics to better understand the mechanisms underlying these involuntary movements. Background: We have recently…Pre-supplementary Motor Area Contributes to Motor Aspects of Sequential Risk-Taking
Objective: To determine the causal role of pre-supplementary motor area in risk-taking behavior during sequential decision making. Background: A recent functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) study…
