Long-term effects of highly challenging balance training in Parkinson's disease-a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: The results suggest that training effects diminish within 6 months after balance training, implying that the program may need to be repeated regularly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of a moving target versus a temporal constraint on reach and grasp in patients with Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: The results suggest that the bradykinesia observed in individuals with PD during self-determined maximal speed prehension may reflect a strategy used to compensate for deficiencies in the grasp component of the task.

Pain in Parkinson’s disease: analysis of 50 cases in a clinic of movement disorders

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted within a population composed of 50 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to evaluate the presence of pain, and the use of techniques for analgesia and adjustment of PD medication contribute to improve the manifestations of pain and the life quality of patients with PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The case for testing memory with both stories and word lists prior to dbs surgery for Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: A multi-componential memory battery is recommended in the neuropsychological assessment of DBS candidates to characterize both mesial temporal and frontal-executive memory processes, and it is suggested that executive deficits may influence word list recall more than story recall.

Colonic inflammation in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that enteric inflammation occurs in Parkinson's disease and further reinforce the role of peripheral inflammation in the initiation and/or the progression of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pedunculopontine nucleus area stimulation on gait disorders in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Although freezing of gait can be improved by low-frequency electrical stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus area in some patients with Parkinson's disease, the overall results are disappointing compared to the high levels of expectation raised by previous open label studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Clinically Important Difference on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional analysis of the CIDs for UPDRS total and motor scores was performed on patients with Parkinson disease (PD) using distribution-and anchor-based approaches based on the following external standards: disability (10% on the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale), disease stage (1 stage on the Hoehn and Yahr Scale), and quality of life (1 SD on the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey).
