This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of resistance training (RT) and RT with instability (RTI) on timed up go test (TUG), on-medication Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III motor subscale score (UPDRS-III), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, Questionnaire (PDQ-39) muscle strength in leg press exercise (one-repetition maximum) patients disease (PD).Thirty-nine moderate to severe PD were randomly assigned a nonexercising control group (C), group, RTI...
Abstract Background Exercises with motor complexity induce neuroplasticity in individuals Parkinson's disease (PD), but its effects on freezing of gait are unknown. The objective this study was to verify if adapted resistance training instability — exercises will be more effective than traditional rehabilitation without improving freezing‐of‐gait severity, outcomes linked gait, and brain function. Methods Freezers were randomized either the group (n = 17) or active control (traditional...
Abstract Silva-Batista, C, de Brito, LC, Corcos, DM, Roschel, H, Mello, MT, Piemonte, MEP, Tricoli, V, and Ugrinowitsch, C. Resistance training improves sleep quality in subjects with moderate Parkinson's disease. J Strength Cond Res 31(8): 2270–2277, 2017—The objectives of this study were to test if 12 weeks progressive resistance (RT) muscle strength disease (PD) values PD are closer those age-matched healthy controls (HC) at posttraining. This was a randomized controlled trial conducted...
The Brazilian Practice Guidelines for Stroke Rehabilitation - Part II, developed by the Scientific Department of Neurological Academy Neurology (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia, in Portuguese), focuses on specific rehabilitation techniques to aid recovery from impairment and disability after stroke. As I, II is also based recently available evidence randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, other guidelines. covers disorders communication, dysphagia, postural control...
The following protocol was used in the study: Unraveling gait automaticity decline independent of cognitive Parkinson's disease: a study using new Affordable Neuro-movement Detection and Analysis (PANDA) system. This cross-sectional evaluated across disease (PD) stages, controlling for cognition, age, sex, education. Participants, grouped by Hoehn Yahr (H&Y) completed tests under two dual-task conditions (verbal fluency countdown tasks). Gait Performance Index (GPI), calculated from...
Background Sexual health is influenced by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors, all which can be impacted Parkinson's disease (PD). Female sexual dysfunction includes reduced desire and/or arousal, pain during activity, or difficulty achieving orgasm. Despite its impact on quality life, in women with PD remains poorly understood. Objective To investigate the motor, non-motor, aspects PD. Methods We conducted cross-sectional study 100 (Hoehn Yahr stages 1–3)...
We aimed to quantify fatigue frequency and evolution in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), correlate with factors such as age, sex, educational level, disease duration, functionality, quality of life, dyspnoea, depression sleepiness. Sixty ALS patients (test group: TG) selected by El Escorial criteria 60 normal individuals (control CG) matched according sex were followed every three months, during 9 means self-report scales: Fatigue Assessment Instrument (Fatigue Severity Scale plus...
Neuropalliative care is an emerging field for those with neurodegenerative illnesses, but access to neuropalliative remains limited.We sought determine Movement Disorder Society (MDS) members' attitudes and palliative care.A quantitative qualitative survey instrument was developed by the MDS Palliative Care Task Force e-mailed all members completion. Descriptive statistics analysis were triangulated.Of 6442 contacted, 652 completed survey. Completed surveys indicating country of respondent...
Background: Sexual health (SH) is influenced by several biological, mental, and social factors that may be negatively impacted Parkinson’s disease (PD). Despite its prevalence relevance for quality of life, the affect SH in men with PD (MwPD) are still poorly understood. Objectives: To investigate impact motor, non-motor, aspects on MwPD. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study 80 (mean-age 53.55±10.8) stages 1–3 Hoehn Yahr classification (H&Y), who reported having an active sex...
BACKGROUND: Mental practice has shown benefits in the rehabilitation of neurological patients, however, there is no evidence immediate effects on gait individuals with Parkinson's disease. OBJECTIVE: Determine mental act
Postural instability is a particularly incapacitating disorder, whose loss of motor independence by Parkinson´s Disease (PD) patients marks significant stage disease onset. Evidence suggests that deficits in automatic control, sensory integration and attention are associated with the lack balance PD. Physiotherapy together medication play an important role treatment this state, although no consensus has been reached on best modality. The aim randomized controlled trial protocol to evaluate...
This study assessed 1) the effects of 12 wk resistance training (RT) and with instability (RTI) on presynaptic inhibition (PSI) disynaptic reciprocal (DRI) patients Parkinson’s disease (PD); 2) effectiveness RT RTI in moving PSI DRI values toward age-matched healthy controls (HC; Z-score analysis); 3) associations between changes clinical outcomes previously published. Thirteen group, 13 11 a nonexercising control group completed trial. While groups performed exercises twice week for wk,...
This study examined the coupling between visual information and body sway in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared healthy controls. Postural control performance was 14 PD (age: 69.6 ± 8.8 years - stages 1–3 of Hoehn Yahr scale) participants 68.6 3.0 years). Participants stood upright a moving room that remained motionless or continuously oscillated anterior-posterior direction. Ten trials were performed following conditions: no movement (1 trial) at frequencies 0.1, 0.17, 0.5 Hz...
Patients with Parkinson disease (PD) present blunted nocturnal blood pressure fall and similar ambulatory variability (ABPV) measured by standard deviation (SD) coefficient of variation (CV) compared healthy subjects. However, these classical indices ABPV have limited validity in individuals circadian alterations. New indices, such as the average daytime night-time weighted duration intervals (SDdn ) real (ARV), remove influence periods on ABPV. This study assessed SDdn ARV PD. Twenty-one...
Introduction: Although in some countries, palliative care (PC) still remains poorly implemented, its importance throughout the course of Parkinson's disease (PD) is increasingly being acknowledged. With an emergence Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, growing emphasis has been placed on needs people with (PwP), particularly elderly, frail, and comorbidities.
Background: Self-reported clinical worsening by people with Parkinson's disease (PD) during social distancing may be aggravated in Brazil, where the e/tele-health system is precarious. Objectives: This study aims to investigate self-reported changes motor and non-motor aspects PD living Brazil factors that might explain these changes. Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional trial, 478 a diagnosis of idiopathic (mean age = 67, SD 9.5; 167 female) were recruited from 14 centers...
Abstract Background Patients with Parkinson disease (PD) present cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction that impairs blood pressure control. However, responses during resistance exercise are unknown in these patients. Objective To investigate performed different muscle masses patients PD. Design Prospective, repeated‐measures. Setting Exercise Hemodynamic Laboratory, School of Physical Education and Sport, University São Paulo. Participants Thirteen PD (4 women, 62.7 ± 1.3 years, stages 2‐3...
Gait is one of the activities most affected by symptoms Parkinson's disease and may show a linear decline as progresses. Early assessment its performance through clinically relevant tests key factor in designing efficient therapeutic plans procedures, which can be enhanced using simple low-cost technological instruments.To investigate effectiveness two-dimensional gait to identify associated with progression.One hundred seventeen people disease, classified between early intermediate stages,...
