Assessing Bradykinesia in Parkinsonian Disorders
OBJECTIVE Bradykinesia is one of the clinical hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. Clinical ratings scales and technology-based assessments have been developed to measure bradykinesia. We review the different tools that exist for measurement of bradykinesia and analyze their reliability and applicability to PD and atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. METHODS ...
متن کاملThe functional anatomy of parkinsonian bradykinesia.
To investigate the difficulty that patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have in performing fast movements, we used H(2)(15)O PET to study regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) associated with performance of a simple predictive visuomanual tracking task at three different velocities. Tracking movements in PD patients (versus tracking with the eyes alone) were associated with a general underactiv...
متن کاملSubthalamic Beta Dynamics Mirror Parkinsonian Bradykinesia Months After Neurostimulator Implantation
BACKGROUND Exaggerated oscillatory activity in the beta frequency band in the subthalamic nucleus has been suggested to be related to bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, studies seeking correlations between such activity in the local field potential and motor performance have been limited to the immediate postoperative period, which may be confounded by a stun effect that leads t...
متن کاملRegression models for the quantification of Parkinsonian bradykinesia.
The aim of this study was to develop regression models for the quantification of parkinsonian bradykinesia. Forty patients with Parkinson's disease participated in this study. Angular velocity was measured using gyro sensor during finger tapping, forearm-rotation, and toe tapping tasks and the severity of bradykinesia was rated by two independent neurologists. Various characteristic variables w...
متن کاملTechnologies Assessing Limb Bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease
BACKGROUND The MDS-UPDRS (Movement Disorders Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale) is the most widely used scale for rating impairment in PD. Subscores measuring bradykinesia have low reliability that can be subject to rater variability. Novel technological tools can be used to overcome such issues. OBJECTIVE To systematically explore and describe the available technologies for ...
