Transient hemiballismus in a fast jet pilot
Objective: To present a novel case of transient hemiballismus in a fast jet pilot occurring shortly after exposure to extreme G forces. Background: Hemiballismus is…Symptom progression in a large cohort of Parkinson’s disease cases in a clinical practice setting
Objective: To assess the temporal profile of motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. Background: Parkinson's disease is characterized by varying combinations of motor and…Handwriting in Parkinson′s disease: Systematic review and preliminary study
Objective: To define objective handwriting change in Parkinson's disease (PD) with emphasis on the early stages. Background: Handwriting is a complex activity that requires precision…Diagnostic accuracy of common bedside ataxia examination tests
Objective: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of common bedside examination tests for upper limb ataxia. Background: Although a number of ataxia scales have been validated,…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…
