Differential Responses to Low- and High-Frequency Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation on Sensor-Measured Components of Bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Introduction: The current approach to assessing bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease relies on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), which is a numeric scale. Inertial sensors offer the ability to probe subcomponents of bradykinesia: motor

Developing and assessing a new web-based tapping test for measuring distal movement in Parkinson’s disease: a Distal Finger Tapping test [PDF]
Disability in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is measured by standardised scales including the MDS-UPDRS, which are subject to high inter and intra-rater variability and fail to capture subtle motor impairment.

Paradoxical kinesia may no longer be a paradox waiting for 100 years to be unraveled
Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by bradykinesia and akinesia. Interestingly, these motor disabilities can depend on the patient emotional state. Disabled PD patients remain able to produce normal motor responses in the context of urgent or externally driven situations or ...

Grid cells: the missing link in understanding Parkinson’s disease? [PDF]
The mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease (PD) are complex and not fully understood, and the box-and-arrow model among other current models present significant challenges. This paper explores the potential role of the allocentric brain and especially

Awakenings in rats by ultrasounds: A new animal model for paradoxical kinesia
Paradoxical kinesia refers to a sudden transient ability of akinetic patients to perform motor tasks they are otherwise unable to perform. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are unknown due a paucity of valid animal models that faithfully reproduce paradoxical kinesia.

I contextualize his depiction as a poetic and musical corrupter and as a thin and disabled individual within the criticism of the New Music in late fifth- and early fourth-century philosophical works, namely ...
