Impact of levodopa and deep brain stimulation on visual impairments in Parkinson’s disease Open
Although levodopa and DBS did not significantly improve reading speed or contrast acuity after single dosing or turning DBS on and off, in this small study, these findings provide valuable insights into the stability of these visual sympto…
Deep brain stimulation in PD: risk of complications, morbidity, and hospitalizations: a systematic review Open
Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive and debilitating neurological disorder. While dopaminergic medication improves PD symptoms, continued management is complicated by continued symptom progression, increasing medication …
Effects of protective step training on proactive and reactive motor adaptations in Parkinson’s disease patients Open
The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent PD affects the ability to walk, respond to balance perturbations in a single training session, and produce acute short-term effects to improve compensatory reactions and control of un…
Predicting Fall Risk Through Automatic Wearable Monitoring Open
Falls represent a major burden on elderly individuals and society as a whole. Technologies that are able to detect individuals at risk of fall before occurrence could help reduce this burden by targeting those individuals for rehabilitatio…
Nicotine Bitartrate Reduces Falls and Freezing of Gait in Parkinson Disease: A Reanalysis Open
Objective: Determine if NC001, an oral formulation of nicotine that reduces levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) in MPTP-Parkinson monkeys, could reduce falls, freezing of gait (FOG), and LIDs in Parkinson disease (PD) patients. Methods: Pr…
Motor Learning Deficits in Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Their Effect on Training Response in Gait and Balance: A Narrative Review Open
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder traditionally associated with degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra, which results in bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, and postural instability and gait disa…
