Compensation strategies for gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) use variety of strategies to compensate for their disorders of gait and balance. The goal of the present work…Simultaneous symptomatic onset of Parkinson’s disease and myasthenia gravis
Objective: To examine a case of acute, simultaneous presentation of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Background: PD is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by…Effects of dual task on upper extremity function and postural control in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To verify the performance and pattern of prioritization of patients with Parkinson's disease in motor and cognitive dual tasks with different demands. Background: Patients…Clinical and instrumental gait analysis study of fear of falling in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: Our aim is to analyze the fear of falling in patients with PD through both clinical variables and instrumented analysis of movement and gait.…Freezing of gait in extrapontine myelinolysis
Background: Extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) is rarely complicated with akinetic-rigid parkinsonism. Herein we report a case with EPM presenting with freezing of gait (FOG). Methods: Case…Improving clinical detection of balance deficits in individuals with Parkinson’s disease with and without freezing of gait and the effects of dopaminergic replacement therapy
Objective: Since it has been argued that PD+FOG have greater sensory impairments compared to PD-FOG, the current study evaluated whether the modified Clinical Test of…Pisa syndrome in a drug-naive Parkinson’s disease patient
Objective: We report on a patient who presented a reversible Pisa syndrome without any dopaminergic treatment at onset and before diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD).…Freezing of gait is associated with more fear of falling avoidance behavior and less participation in daily physical activity
Objective: To compare those with and without freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The presence of FOG in PD has been shown…Disability is an independent predictor of falls and recurrent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease without a history of falls: A one-year prospective study
Objective: To determine predictors of all falls and recurrent falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who had not fallen in the past year; and…A comparison of self-report and performance-based balance measures to predict recurrent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease: A cohort study
Objective: To compare the accuracy of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Dynamic Gait…
