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…Comparative study patients with different clinical forms of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study the cognitive, emotional status, sleep disturbances in patients with akinetic-rigid and tremor form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) -…Overlapping corticobasal syndromes: The many faces of the Armstrong criteria
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and clinical presentation of corticobasal variants listed in the new Armstrong criteria, exploring their overlap with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP),…GAITRite comparison between Parkinson’s disease stages
Objective: To compare gait performance across Parkinson's disease stages. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized with changes in locomotion and posture, which are associated with…Correlation between self-perceived balance confidence, postural control, gait and quality of life of individuals with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the association of self-perceived balance confidence level with postural control, gait and the quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD) people on…The relationship between impulse control disorders and dyskinesia in Parkinson´s disease: The ALTHEA study
Objective: To report (1) the relationship between the occurrence of impulse control disorders (ICDs) and dyskinesias, and (2) the correlations between specific ICDs and the…Utility of the Mayo sleep questionnaire in predicting final autopsy diagnosis of alpha-synucleinopathy
Objective: To ascertain the utility of the MSQ in predicting final autopsy diagnosis of an alpha-synuleinopathy. Background: Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a…
