Journal ArticleDOI

Gait assessment in Parkinson's disease: toward an ambulatory system for long-term monitoring

TL;DR: The method provides a simple yet effective way of ambulatory gait analysis in PD patients with results confirming those obtained from much more complex and expensive methods used in gait labs.
Journal ArticleDOI

How do parkinsonian signs return after discontinuation of subthalamic DBS

TL;DR: STN DBS may act by different mechanisms on the four major parkinsonian signs, with a fast worsening of tremor within minutes, followed by a smoother, slower worsening of bradykinesia and rigidity over half an hour to an hour, and finally a slow and steady worsening of axial signs over 3 to 4 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantification of Tremor and Bradykinesia in Parkinson's Disease Using a Novel Ambulatory Monitoring System

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that objective, accurate and simultaneous assessment of tremor and bradykinesia can be achieved in free moving PD patients during their daily activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect on mood of subthalamic DBS for Parkinson's disease: a consecutive series of 24 patients.

TL;DR: In six patients with subthalamic deep brain stimulation in PD, mood state worsened significantly, and three were transiently suicidal despite clear motor improvement.
