Computer Vision Quantification of Repeated Finger Tapping Demonstrates Aberrant Plasticity in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Test if symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) develop through aberrant plasticity. Background: Recent results in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned mice show that repeated performance of simple motor…Redefining the Finger-tapping Test in Parkinsonian Patients: Finger to Crease Instead of Finger-to-tip
Objective: To evaluate the competence of finger to crease (F-C) variation of the finger tapping test as opposed to the traditional method (F-T) in detecting…The Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Floor Sitting Rising in Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Objective: To develop a method to characterize Floor Sitting Rising (FSR) in people with Parkinson disease (PwP). Background: Transitioning to the floor to a seated…Putaminal dopamine modulates movement motivation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the quantitative effect of dopamine depletion on the motivation of motor effort in Parkinson’s disease. Background: The relative inability to produce effortful…Seeking Traditional Healers in Movement Disorders: a pilot study in two African Countries
Objective: to study the motives, behavior, and liability of seeking traditional healers (THs) for movement disorders (MDs) cases in Egypt compared to Somalia Background: Neurological…Vaccination from Covid-19 in people with Parkinson`s disease
Objective: To assess safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in people with Parkinson’s disease. Background: Different forms of vaccines have been developed to…A non-expensive bidimensional assessment can detect subtle alterations in gait performance in people in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a two-dimensional gait assessment to identify the decline in gait performance associated with Parkinson's disease progression Background: Gait is…Assessing akinesia domains during multitasking in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore performance differences in single- versus dual-tasking conditions between healthy controls (HC) and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: Akinesia, comprising slowness (bradykinesia), reduction…Fatigue at different stages of parkinson’s disease
Objective: study fatigue as a key non-motor symptom of parkinson's disease Background: Fatigue in PD refers to a state of fatigue, lack of energy, a…Deep behavioural analysis of zebrafish models of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective is to characterise parkinsonian phenotypes in genetic and pharmacological models of Parkinson's disease (PD) using zebrafish. Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a…
