Objective: To investigate whether the predominant initial PD motor symptom is associated with gender or age of onset of PD in Sri Lanka. Background: Studies…Application of the MDS research criteria for prodromal Parkinson’s disease to the longitudinal population-based Bruneck study cohort
Objective: To quantify the prevalence of prodromal phase of Parkinson's disease (PD) defined per 2015 MDS research criteria and their potential to predict incident clinically…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…
