Airway protective mechanisms and deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The goal of this study was to compare the effects of STN vs. GPi DBS on swallowing and cough outcomes in PD. Background: Deep…Lance-Adams syndrome with post-hypoxic myoclonus- physiotherapy intervention
Objective: To evaluate the benefit of physiotherapy (PT) interventions on functional limitations in a patient with Lance-Adams Syndrome (LAS) with post-hypoxic myoclonus using 10 meter…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…Does distance walked after two minutes predict total 6 minute walk test distance in people with Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To determine if the distance walked in the first two minutes of the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) accurately predicts the total distance walked…Expiratory muscle training for the impaired loudness of speech in Parkinson’s disease: An open-label study
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of EMT for the impaired loudness of speech in patients with PD, we conducted an open-label pilot trial of EMT.…Exercise induced analgesia is present in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate if exercise-induced analgesia (EIA) is present in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to an age-matched control group. Background: Pain is a…A phase 3, placebo-controlled study with an open-label extension: Sustained incobotulinumtoxinA efficacy in upper-limb post-stroke spasticity over 48 weeks
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA for upper-limb post-stroke spasticity. Background: Botulinum toxin injections are a recommended therapy for limb spasticity. We…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…Balance training in individual’s with Parkinson’s disease: Therapist-supervised vs. home-based exercise programmes
Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of a home-based balance programme to therapist-supervised programme on gait parameters, dynamic balance, balance confidence and motivation in…Changes in handwriting following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over pre-motor cortex in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To observe changes in handwriting following administration of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over pre-motor cortex (pre-MC) in patients with PD. Background: Patients with…
