Methods 64 consecutive PD patients were included: 53 males, 11 females; 69.5±8.1 years; 5.6±4.1 years of disease (YOD); Hoehn Yahr (H&Y) 2.4±1.1, UPDRS-M 16.1±12.5. The clinical assessment included HY and UPDRS-M score, Pain NRS 0-10 and trunk rotation in bending (ATR). Lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), scoliosis curves (SC), spinosacral angle (SSA), spinopelvic angle (SPA), pelvic ...

Previous studies have shown that pramipexole might have the potential to improve depressive symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. To provide more evidence, in five Japanese patients at Hoehn & Yahr stage 1-3 we evaluated the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) at our hospital. Af...

We performed an analysis of prospectively-acquired cross sectional data on 106 Parkinson disease (PD) patients who underwent comprehensive neuropsychological testing and the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor scale. A significant correlation between the UPDRS motor and neuropsychological tests in all cognitive domains except for general intelligence and visuo-spatial function ...

UNLABELLED This paper presents a novel methodology in which the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) data processed with a rule-based decision algorithm is used to predict the state of the Parkinson's Disease patients. The research was carried out to investigate whether the advancement of the Parkinson's Disease can be automatically assessed. For this purpose, past and current UPDRS...

Fatigue is an important contributor to poor quality of life. The aim of our research was to identify factors associated with fatigue among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The sample consisted of 150 patients. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Charlson co-morbidity index were us...

Abstract Nowadays, smart health technologies are used in different life and environmental areas, such as life, healthcare, cognitive cities, social systems. Intelligent, reliable, ubiquitous healthcare systems a part of the modern developing technology that should be more seriously considered. Data collection through ways, Internet things (IoT)-assisted sensors, enables physicians to predict, p...

BackgroundParkinson's disease (PD) and metabolic syndrome are separate entities that share common underlying pathophysiology. Management strategy for is clinically better characterized finding a positive clinical correlation between the two could lead to understanding of Parkinson's progression prognosis.PurposeTo explore relationship in PD characterize pathophysiology, which then impact manage...

OBJECTIVE To study the long-term effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) on depression in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to discuss the mechanism. METHODS A STN-DBS group (n = 27) and anti-Parkinson's medication control group with paired designing were set up. The evaluation of the depression and motor function was performed a total of si...
