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…Predictors of recurrent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease and development of a predictive tool
Objective: To identify predictors of recurrent falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD); and to develop a predictive tool for identifying individuals at different categories…Pantotenate kinase associated neurodegeneration (PKAN): Proposal for a clinical rating scale
Objective: To design and validate a quantitative method for the assessment of PKAN patients. Background: Despite advances in the research of novel therapies for PKAN,…Changes in motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: 2-year follow-up of 735 cases
Objective: This study is aimed at assessing and interpreting the changes in motor rating scales for Parkinson's disease (PD) over a 2-year longitudinal study. Background:…Multicenter report of clinical use of a non-motor symptom questionnaire for craniocervical dystonia: The DNMS quest
Objective: To validate a non motor symptom (NMS) questionnaire in patients with craniocervical dystonia (CCD). Background: We have reported the clinical use of a Dystonia…
