UPDRS III score and RS latency can determine the possible neuromodulative role of STN DBS in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of STN DBS on the changes of UPDRS scale and RS parameters (OFF phase)…Saccadic impairment in patients with Gaucher’s disease type 3
Objective: To characterize saccades in patients with chronic neuronopathic Gaucher’s disease (GD3) in relationship to their neurological and cognitive status using a computer-based eye-tracking technique. Background: GD3 is…Audiological Evaluation in Sporadic Ataxia
Objective: to describe the audiological and electrophysiological results in patients with sporadic ataxia (SA). Background: Patients with adult onset non-familial progressive ataxia are classified in…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…Improvement of saccade amplitude by the STN DBS and visual target eccentricity
Objective: To investigate whether or not the improvement of saccade amplitude by the subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the same for to…Impaired temporal coupling of action and perception in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study in Parkinson's disease (PD) the dependence of saccadic and perceptual reaction times (SRT and PRT) upon the temporal asynchrony (TA) between central…
