Physical Activity in Persons With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a leading neurodegenerative health condition in Sweden and a public health concern. Although no cure exists, functional independence and participation in society remain top priorities, and can be achieved through targeted physical activity (PA) interventions. To date, few longitudinal cohort studies have been conducted, using PA …
Balance Confidence and Kinesiophobia in Parkinson's Disease
31 patients aged 50-80 years diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (Modified Hoehn-Yahr stages 1-3) and 31 healthy volunteers. At the start of the study, sociodemographic data for all participants will be recorded. To assess the mental and functional status of Parkinson's disease patients, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the …
Deep Brain Stimulation-Induced Mania in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a common and debilitating neurodegenerative disease. While medication can alleviate its symptoms, not all patients will adequately respond to medical therapy. For these cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been used to improve symptoms and quality of life. Nevertheless, this approach is, in some cases, associated …
Electroencephalographic Signatures of Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease
Dopaminergic replacement therapy while efficient at reducing symptoms of Parkinson's disease is however often associated with motor and non-motor fluctuations which have a severe impact on patient quality of life. To date, the interplay between cortical activity linked to motor and non-motor symptoms and Parkinson's disease fluctuations linked to dopaminergic …
7.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of Parkinson's Disease
This clinical trial study is conducted to detect the imaging characteristics of the patients with Parkinson's diseases (PD) by 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Pathways Mediating Impaired Postural Control in Parkinson's Disease
The purpose of this project is to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to explore the state of excitability of corticocortical and corticofugal (cortex to spinal cord, cortex to brainstem to spinal cord) pathways that project to muscles that control the legs and trunk in people with Parkinson's disease. The outcome …
Genetics in Parkinson's Disease: Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes
The genetic landscape of Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by rare high penetrance pathogenic variants causing familial disease, genetic risk factor variants driving PD risk in a significant minority in PD cases and high frequency, low penetrance variants, which contribute a small increase of the risk of developing sporadic PD. …
Development of Digital Diagnostic Devices for Parkinson's Disease
In this project, ocular motor, pupil and gait data in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) will be collected in order to develop machine learning models for the diagnosis and monitoring of PD. With this, the investigators aim to advance the state of the art in PD diagnosis and monitoring. By …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Visuomotor Function in Parkinson's Disease
Inability to align and refocus the eyes on the objects at different depths, i.e., vergence impairment, frequently affects the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. Our study aims to understand the location-specific effects of subthalamic region deep brain stimulation on vergence by integrating the patient-specific deep brain stimulation …
Virtual Reality and Fear of Falling in Parkinson's Disease
Background: Falls are common in elderly individuals and those with neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease causes postural instability and mobility issues that lead to falls and reduced quality of life. The fear of falling (FoF), a natural response to unstable balance, can exacerbate postural control problems. However, evaluating …
