Motor and Non-motor Features Predict Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To investigate and evaluate behavioral predictors of conversion to Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Background: Freezing of Gait (FOG) has devastating consequences…Vascular parkinsonism: Clinical features and comparison with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To define the clinical features of vascular parkinsonism (VP) and compare it to idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD). Background: The main differential diagnosis of VP…The Association Between Inhibitory Control and Freezing of Gait Severity in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between inhibitory control and freezing of gait (FOG) severity in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Inhibition deficits play a role in…Nucleotide repeats as genetic risk factors in a Swedish Parkinson’s disease cohort
Objective: To search for abnormal NRE in the following genes: ATXN2, ATXN3, CACNA1A, TBP, c9orf72, PRNP, POLG1A and TOMM40 in a Swedish PD cohort. Background:…Neuronal KIF5b deletion induces striatum-dependent locomotor impairments and defects in membrane presentation of dopamine D2 receptors
Objective: In this study we aim to elucidate the role of Kif5b motor subunit in the nigrostriatal pathway. We have generated different conditional knockout mice…Exploring novel diffusion-derived biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease Freezing of Gait
Objective: To explore the association between novel diffusion-derived structural imaging biomarkers and disease duration in Parkinson’s disease with freezing of gait (PD-FOG). Background: Increasing free-water…Longitudinal study of freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We conducted a prospective hospital based cohort study to investigate the incidence of Freezing of gait (FOG) and variables associated with onset of FOG…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…Quantitative assessment of DBS-induced gait disorder in patients with essential tremor
Objective: To investigate changes in gait coordination quantitatively in patients with essential tremor (ET) under chronic bilateral high-frequency stimulation of the nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM).…Falls in Parkinson’s disease: Beware the short, slow steps
Objective: To determine if step length influence falls in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: Falls are major cause of disability in PD. The objective of…
