The clinical characteristics of Lewy body disease showed autonomic failures preceding motor signs
Objective: There are few cases of Lewy body disease who have been initially diagnosed as pure autonomic failure(PAF), because they had only autonomic symptoms for…A case of misdiagnosed Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the basal ganglia. Parkinsonism is the main syndrome of PD, characterised by bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor…Standardized assessment of camptocormia in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The present study aimed to develop a clinical algorithm to comprehensively characterize CC in PD. Background: Clinical assessment of Camptocormia (CC) in Parkinson's disease…Ambulatory assessment of tremor
Objective: To develop ambulatory assessment of tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) throughout the day, in relationship to treatment and fluctuations in bradykinesia. Background: PD is…Assessment of cognitive-motor interference during an upper extremity motor task in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess cognitive-motor interference (CMI) and task prioritization during simultaneous performance of a cognitive task and an upper extremity motor task in Parkinson's disease…Long term prognosis of functional motor disorders, a case-control follow-up study
Objective: To determine long term symptom outcome, quality of life, psychiatric co morbidity, work plus social adjustment and mortality of patients with a functional motor…Coin rotation as strongest predictor of buttoning in Parkinson’s: A multicenter study demonstrating the everyday impact of limb-kinetic apraxia
Objective: Applying a three site multi-center approach, we aimed to identify the significant predictors of buttoning and unbuttoning in PD. We hypothesized that coin rotation…A new tool to stage Parkinson’s disease PDCS (Parkinson’s disease composite scale): A pilot study on behalf of the European Parkinson’s disease association (EPDA)
Objective: The aim of PDCS is to create a simple scale able to measure the severity of patients, taking into account cardinal motor, non motor…Evaluating bradykinesia: How many finger taps are needed?
Objective: To assess the utility of finger tapping (FT) test to evaluate bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) at short and long FT sequences. Background: Repetitive…Choreoathetosis associated with cervical dystonia as clinical presentation of thyrotoxicosis: A rare condition
Objective: To describe the first report of Cervical Dystonia and Choreoatetosis associated in the same patient with hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis). Background: Thyroid Disease is related with…
