Contributions of sensorial feedback to gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the integration of optic flow and proprioception when people with Parkinson's disease (PD), under and without dopaminergic medication effects, and matched-control group…Evaluating Parkinsonian motor features via the routine use of consumer electronics – neuroQWERTY
Objective: Our goal was to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a novel metric, neuroQWERTY index (nQi), to characterize PD's motor component. Background: The motor…Long-term impact of lead poisoning on neurologic function in children and adolescents
Objective: To elucidate (1) whether prolonged effects of lead exposure are persistently reflected by impaired neurological parameters and (2) whether these outcomes can be attributed…Piperine potentiates neuroprotective effect of curcumin in MPTP model of Parkinson’s disease in rats: Impact on neurochemical modulation
Objective: (1) Curcumin is well tolerated phenolic compound used for CNS disorder but problem is its low oral bioavailability and (2) Piperine is combined to…Neck proprioception is impaired in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate whether proprioceptive information generated from the neck is impaired in patients with idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (CD). Background: CD is a focal dystonia…Effects of videogame step training on gait adaptability in people with Parkinson´s disease – A randomized controlled trial
Objective: To evaluate the effect of home-based interactive videogame step training on gait adaptability performance in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The ability to…Proprioceptive training as a means to enhance sensorimotor function in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify whether proprioceptive function in Parkinson's disease (PD) can be enhanced by specialized visuomotor training that emphasizes precise movements and determine if such…Construction of a levodopa-response index from wearable sensors for quantifying Parkinson’s disease motor functions: Preliminary results
Objective: The goal of the study is to investigate whether wrist worn motion sensors are feasible tools to measure motor functions in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Interleaved pro- and anti-saccade performance in Huntington’s disease
Objective: To investigate suppression of automatic movements and execution of voluntary motor commands in an early stage Huntington's disease patients. Background: The ability to suppress…How does cognition affect reaching in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To explore differences in kinematic parameters of reach in those with Parkinson's disease (PD) classified into normal cognition (PD-NC), mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and…
