Effects of dual task on upper extremity function and postural control in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To verify the performance and pattern of prioritization of patients with Parkinson's disease in motor and cognitive dual tasks with different demands. Background: Patients…Objectivisation of postural disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease during the screening stage for DBS
Objective: Objectivisation of degree of postural disorders in PD patients during the screening stage for DBS. Background: The neurosurgical treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) using…Stabilometry characteristics as objective Parkinson’s disease progression biomarkers
Objective: We aimed to find stabilometry characteristics, which may be used as disease progression and postural instability early development markers. Background: Balance and gait disorders…Improving clinical detection of balance deficits in individuals with Parkinson’s disease with and without freezing of gait and the effects of dopaminergic replacement therapy
Objective: Since it has been argued that PD+FOG have greater sensory impairments compared to PD-FOG, the current study evaluated whether the modified Clinical Test of…Pathophysiological mechanisms of bone mass loss for osteoporosis prevalence in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Quantify the impact of osteoporosis in Parkinson's disease to know factors that caused bone loss. Background: Parkinson´s disease (PD) and osteoporosis are two conditions…Disability is an independent predictor of falls and recurrent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease without a history of falls: A one-year prospective study
Objective: To determine predictors of all falls and recurrent falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who had not fallen in the past year; and…A dopamine-dependent activity of the STN in the control of balance in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), and its relation to nigro-striatal dopaminergic denervation, in control of balance in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Relationship between sensory augmentation and exercise routine in the improvement in balance and gait in a patient with lithium-induced ataxia
Objective: This case report describes the use of sensory augmentation and an exercise routine to improve balance and gait in a patient with lithium-induced ataxia.…A comparison of self-report and performance-based balance measures to predict recurrent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease: A cohort study
Objective: To compare the accuracy of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Dynamic Gait…Functional motor outcomes after globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation in Huntington´s disease – A case report
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the motor outcome before and after 6 month follow-up in a HD patient treated by GPi-DBS.…
