Understanding, predicting, and preventing falls in progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: To (1) evaluate which factors are associated with increasing falls in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), unrelated to freezing; and (2) subsequently develop a predictive…European physiotherapy guideline for Parkinson’s disease: Information for neurologists
Objective: We aim to inform physicians on the value of physiotherapy (PT) for people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) and on opportunities to optimize referral to…Differential clinical outcomes in unifocal vs. multifocal premotor rTMS for Parkinson’s disease: A randomized trial
Objective: To compare changes in clinical outcomes after weekly low-frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) sessions over one vs. two pre-motor cortex (preMC) areas…Translation of the European physiotherapy guideline for Parkinson’s disease to Portuguese
Objective: To translate and adapt the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's disease to Portuguese. Background: In 2014 the European Guideline for Physiotherapy in Parkinson's disease…The effect of walking speed on postural stability in Parkinson’s disease fallers
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the effect of imposed faster and slower walking speeds on gait rhythmicity in people with Parkinson's disease (PD)…VANTAGE trial: Three year outcomes of a prospective, multi-center trial evaluating deep brain stimulation with a new multiple-source, constant-current rechargeable system in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The VANTAGE study assesses motor improvement in moderate-to-severe Parkinson's disease (PD) following bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) using a new, implantable,…Effect of frequency modulation on freezing of gait in PD patients after bilateral STN DBS
Objective: To study various frequency settings and to identify the optimal frequency of bilateral subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation (DBS) for improvement in gait in…Introducing the 2nd edition of the occupational therapy for people with Parkinson’s: Best practice guidance
Objective: To disseminate best practice to Occupational Therapists (OTs) about Parkinson's. Background: 5 years after publication of the Occupational Therapy for people with Parkinson's: Best…Fighting Freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease: Effect of a phase-dependent tactile biofeedback
Objective: To investigate the effect of tactile biofeedback during every stance phase on freezing of gait (FoG) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Accumulating evidence suggests…Whole body vibration therapy with exercise enhances motor function and improves quality of life in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the short term effects of whole body vibration and exercise in patients with Parkinson's disease on overall quality of life, gait, tremor,…
