Parkinson´s Disease, respiratory capacity and functionality: a Physical Therapy perspective
Objective: To correlate respiratory capacity with physical function in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: As occurs in other neurodegenerative diseases, it is necessary…Investigating Physical and Cognitive Changes over Two Years in Patients with Moderate to Late Stage Parkinson’s Disease in Northumbria
Objective: Investigate changes in timed up and go (TUG), grip strength, MoCA and MMSE scores and explore which areas of cognition are most commonly affected.…The efficacy of intensive inpatient rehabilitation treatment in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: We investigated the efficacy of intensive impatient rehabilitation treatment in Parkinson's disease patients Background: Rehabilitation treatments have beneficial effects in Parkinson’s disease (PD).We determined…The Timed Up & Go test (time) is inversely associated with fall frequency in progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the appropriate assessments associated with fall frequency in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Background: PSP is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disease,…Long-term effects of music as an auditory cue on motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: A case report
Objective: To evaluate long-term effects of using music to improve motor & non-motor symptoms on a patient with a 10 year history of Parkinson's. Background:…Frailty in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: Associations with Disability and Timed Up and Go Test
Objective: To identify the prevelance of frailty in patients with Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), to describe the relationship between severity of the disease and frailty,…Temporal Gait Parameters in Parkinson’s Disease: A Study Using PDlogger, A Quantitative Gait Measuring Device
Objective: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling symptom in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study aims to investigate the differences in temporal gait…Combined aerobic and function-based exercise in a group setting improves quality of life and functional mobility in persons with Parkinson disease
Objective: To determine whether the combination of high intensity aerobic followed by function-based exercise, delivered in a group setting, improved quality of life and functional…The AppTUG : a new application for analyzing the Timed Up and Go task in patients with neurological disorders
Objective: To perform an initial validation of a newly developed smartphone-based Timed Up & Go (TUG) application (AppTUG), by comparing its measurements to the stopwatch-measured…Extended “Timed Up and Go”: A Clinical Indicator of Cognitive State in Parkinson’s Disease?
Objective: To evaluate an extended Timed Up and Go (extended-TUG) as a potential holistic indicator of Parkinson’s disease; hypothesised to correlate closely with disease severity…
