Muscle strength is significantly associated with hip bone mineral density in women with Parkinson's disease: a cross-sectional study.

TL;DR: Hip bone mineral density is independently associated with leg muscle strength in women with Parkinson's disease, after controlling for body mass index, post-menopausal years, Hoehn and Yahr stage, and postural stability.

Eight Weeks of Aerobic Interval Training Improves Psychomotor Function in Patients with Parkinson's Disease-Randomized Controlled Trial.

TL;DR: Following an 8-week moderate intensity AIT program, patients with Parkinson’s disease exhibited improved psychomotor behaviors, reflected by bimanual motor control, executive function, and neurological parkinsonian signs.

Walking in circles: navigation deficits from Parkinson's disease but not from cerebellar ataxia.

TL;DR: It is concluded that blindfolded navigation around a previously seen circle requires intact basal ganglia, but not cerebellar input, to affect spatial navigation round a circular walking path, Blindfolded.

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.

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.

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).
