Apraxia of speech as the initial manifestation of progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: We report a patient with apraxia of speech as the initial symptom who finally developed a progressive supranuclear palsy. Background: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)…Reflex saccades changes can estimate long-term symptom progression in DBS STN and MED Parkinson’s disease patients (PD)
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of STN DBS on RS parameters in PD. We have compared disease progression in…Atypical Parkinsonian disorders: Insights for a differential diagnosis through the analysis of oculomotor profile in MSA, PSP and CBD patients
Objective: To determine peculiar changes in oculomotor profile that may help in distinguishing atypical parkinsonism with overlapping clinical features. Background: Atypical Parkinsonian disorders (APDs) include…Cognition, vision and visuo-cognition in gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study examined the selective but overlapping roles of cognition and vision in gait in Parkinson's disease (PD). To address this we studied; 1)…Deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus interna improves performance in complex oculomotor tasks
Objective: To compare and contrast the effects of deep brain stimulation of (a) the subthalamic nucleus and (b) the globus pallidus interna on advanced Parkinson's…The finger tapping and disrupted smooth pursuit to detect the hepatic encephalopathy: Results of the subgroup analysis of movement disorders in non-Wilsonian hepatic cirrhotic patients
Objective: To identify the associated factors of bradykinesia in cirrhotic patients. Background: Reviews of the literature always mention the asterixis as a well-known examination to…Direct assessment of psychosocial measures using eye tracking technology in advanced ALS – Can preserved autonomy and psychological wellbeing modify disease course?
Objective: To assess psychosocial functioning in advanced ALS in a fully independent manner. Background: ALS is a fatal motor neuron disease, with progressive paralysis, dysarthria,…Eye movement abnormalities in essential tremor and other neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, spino-cerebellar ataxia, Huntington disease)
Objective: To evaluate eye movement abnormalities in ET patients in comparison with matched according to age and gender controls and patients with other neurodegenerative disease…Impaired eye voice coordination in spinocerebellar degeneration while reading aloud
Objective: In order to elucidate the cause of the impaired reading performance. Background: Deficit in reading performance in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) has been…Natural history of saccadic abnormalities in spinocerebellar ataxia 2: Implications to designing future clinical trials
Objective: The present study was aimed to assess the progression of saccade involvement in SCA2 patients, identify its main determinants and evaluate its usefulness as…
