Objective: To assess the utility of a wearable inertial sensor for detecting motor complications in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and its usability. Background: Identifying motor complications…Efficacy of a Vibrational Armband in Maintenance of Forced Arm Swing in Parkinsonism
Objective: To objectively validate empirical studies regarding the efficacy of a vibratory stimulus on arm swing and fall risk on individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD).…Use in Clinical Practice of a Personalised and Long-term Monitoring Device for Parkinson´s Disease: STAT-ON
Objective: To analyze the opinion of different neurologists from Spain about the STAT-ON tool after using the device in a real clinical practice setting (RCPS).…PD Conversations: Creation of an Online Parkinson’s Community
Objective: An online Parkinson’s community can provide a valuable forum and an effective means of support for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Parkinson’s…APOE, TREM2 and LINGO1 genes: A possible implication in cognition in essential tremor in a Tunisian population
Objective: To investigate the effect of polymorphisms in APOE, TREM2 and LINGO1 genes on the cognitive profile of essential tremor(ET) in Tunisian population. Background: ET…Deep Brain Stimulation for medically refractory tremor syndromes
Objective: Investigating the most effective deep brain stimulation targets to treat complex tremor cases. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for medically…Saccadic and Smooth Pursuit Derangements in Essential Tremor: A Video Oculography Study
Objective: We investigated whether saccades (Sac) and smooth pursuits (SP) recorded via video oculography (VO) differ in patients with essential tremor (ET) by comparison with…Effects of Vibrotactile Feedback and Lee Silverman Voice Treatment on Vocal Intensity in Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease: A Preliminary Study
Objective: To compare vocal intensity between locations (home versus clinic), treatment groups [Vibrotactile feedback (VF) only versus LSVT LOUD® and VF], and VF status (on…Novel Recessive Mitochondrial Mutations Causing Leigh’s Syndrome and Movement Disorders
