The practicalities of freezing of gait assessment methods
Objective: To highlight the available assessment tools and to provide practical, experience-based recommendations for reliable assessment of freezing of gait (FOG). Background: FOG is a…Comparison of change in the UPDRS verses MDS-UPDRS in a population of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS)
Objective: To compare assessment tools for capturing the therapeutic effect of DBS for treating PD using the original UPDRS and The Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision…Relationship between fatigue and sleep disturbances in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A study using Parkinson’s disease sleep scale-2
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between fatigue and sleep disturbances in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: In patients with PD, fatigue is an important…Comparison of Test Your Memory (TYM) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) measures in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We sought to determine: a) the ability of TYM to discriminate between PD patients with and without cognitive deficits b) equivalence between MoCA scores…Validation of a screening questionnaire for X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP): The first phase of the population based prevalence study of XDP in Panay
Objective: To develop and validate a simple, easy to use, community-based, screening questionnaire for the diagnosis of X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP), a movement disorder afflicting…Clinical correlates of depression and anxiety in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To clarify whether depression and anxiety are similar in terms of their associations with other clinical variables. Background: Although depression and anxiety are important…MMSE and MoCA feasibility in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies: A multicenter 1-year follow-up study
Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate which scale is best suited to assess cognition and more sensitive to cognitive decline over time…Validation of the XDP-MDSP rating scale for the evaluation of patients with X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP)
Objective: To validate the proposed XDP-MDSP (X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism – The Movement Disorder Society of the Philippines) rating scale in patients clinically diagnosed to have XDP.…Usefulness of total neuropathy score revised as a screening tool of peripheral neuropathy in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate (1) prevalence of peripheral neuropathy and (2) usefulness of known neuropathy scores in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Peripheral neuropathy has…Screening of posterior cortical dysfunction in early Parkinson’s disease with mild cognitive impairment as an approach to select patients at higher risk for developing dementia
Objective: Based on the importance of progressive dysfunction of posterior cortical regions in cognitive deterioration in PD, we explored whether posterior cortical dysfunction in early…
