چکیده
CASE REPORT: She was evaluated for Berge balance scale, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and postural stability using CDP device in early PSP with still able to walk or stand unassisted. Also, Gait analysis was conducted using an 8 M-camera Vicon 612 data capturing system set. Berge balance scale improved from 41/56 to 48/56. The score of FIM improved from 71/126 points to 95/126 points in early PSP. In CDP analysis, there was a decrease of composite equilibrium score (38 %). There was an increase of composite equilibrium score (59%) after three months of treatment. In gait analysis, there was no difference of gait parameters after three months of treatment in early PSP.

BACKGROUND AND AIM Early clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) remains challenging. AIM We attempted to identify any sign or symptom to diagnose PSP earlier. METHODS A total of 401 patients, 40 with PSP and 361 with other neurodegenerative disorders, were included. We followed these patients for at least 1 year since 2009. We reviewed the signs and symptoms of patients ...
متن کاملBehavioral Changes as the Earliest Clinical Manifestation of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
BACKGROUND The clinical and pathological heterogeneity of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is well established. Even with a well-defined clinical phenotype and a thorough laboratory workup, PSP can be misdiagnosed, especially in its early stages. CASE REPORT A 52-year-old woman, who we initially diagnosed with a behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia developed parkinsonian features...
