چکیده
N Engl J Med 2005;353:1021-7. Copyright © 2005 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 62-year-old man presents with an intermittent tremor in his left hand and some vague discomfort in the left arm. Physical examination shows a minimal rest tremor in the left hand that disappears with use of the limb, mild rigidity at the left wrist and elbow, slowness of finger tapping with the left hand, and decreased arm swing on the left while walking. How should he be evaluated and treated?

Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease in Human Using Voice Signals
A full investigation into the features extracted from voice signals of people with and without Parkinson’s disease was performed. A total of 31 people with and without the disease participated in the data collection phase. Their voice signals were recorded and processed. The relevant features were then extracted. A variety of feature selection methods have been utilized resulting in a good perf...
متن کاملGait Based Vertical Ground Reaction Force Analysis for Parkinson’s Disease Diagnosis Using Self Organizing Map
The aim of this work is to use Self Organizing Map (SOM) for clustering of locomotion kinetic characteristics in normal and Parkinson’s disease. The classification and analysis of the kinematic characteristics of human locomotion has been greatly increased by the use of artificial neural networks in recent years. The proposed methodology aims at overcoming the constraints of traditional analysi...

متن کاملPharmacological treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown cause. Age is the most consistent risk factor and incidence in the general population over 75 years of age is 254:100 000. With an aging population the management of Parkinson’s disease is likely to prove an increasingly important and challenging aspect of medical practice. Classically Parkinson’s disease presents with resting tremo...
