Physical therapy practice variability and outcomes for people with Parkinson’s disease: Data from the National Parkinson Foundation quality improvement initiative (NPF-QII)
Objective: To (1) describe current variability in physical therapy (PT) use by people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to (2) examine the association between PT…Vagotomy and Parkinson’s disease risk: A Swedish register-based matched cohort study
Objective: To examine whether a vagotomy decreases the risk of later Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: It has been hypothesized that the α-synuclein pathology of PD…Comparing psychosocial risk factors in patients with functional movement disorders and patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures
Objective: To compare the trauma histories and psychopathological comorbidities in patients with functional (psychogenic) movements disorders (FMD) to patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). Background:…Gender effect on non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease: Are men more at risk for most of them?
Objective: To evaluate the burden of non-motor symptoms (NMS) among patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) with respect to the general population and to evaluate…Predicting poor functional outcome in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to describe progression to, identify independent prognostic factors for, and develop a valid prognostic model for, dependency and “death or dependency” in…Regular exercise is associated with better two-year outcomes in Parkinson’s disease: National Parkinson foundation quality improvement initiative (NPF-QII) data
Objective: To examine the association of exercise with health-related quality of life (HRQL) and mobility over 2 years in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background:…Recognition of parkinsonism in African Americans in a community-based sample
Objective: To investigate recognition of parkinsonism in African Americans (AA) in a community-based sample in Chicago. Background: Prior studies suggest that the manifestation of parkinsonism…Impact of pre- and postdiagnosis physical activity on the progression of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess whether and how pre- and postdiagnosis physical activities affect motor function, cognition, and depression among Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: Physical activities…Evaluation of the [ 99mTc] – TRODAT- 1 SPECT in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
Objective: Evaluation of the [ 99mTc] - TRODAT- 1 SPECT in the diagnosis of PD and other MD. Create a DATA bank for our population.…Survival and risk of mortality of synucleinopathies: A 15 years population-based study (1991 – 2005)
Objective: To investigate the survival and mortality of synucleinopathies 15 years of study. Background: Limited data are available to estimate the mortality and the causes…
