Abstract:
Several tasks examined implicit and explicit memory in matched samples of Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, and healthy elderly subjects. Lexical priming, pursuit-rotor tracking, and a fragmented pictures test, followed by explicit memory tests, were given. AD patients were impaired on all explicit tests and on lexical priming, but were intact on pursuit-rotor tracking and the procedural learning (PL) component of the fragmented pictures test. PD patients were significantly better than AD patients on all explicit memory tests, but were selectively impaired on the PL compo

There have been few studies investigating the eye movement behavior of Parkinson’s disease patients during fixation. This study objectively measured the eye movements of 36 patients with Parkinson’s disease, and 20 age matched controls. Stimuli consisted of ten standardized text passages first organized by Miller and Coleman. In addition, subjects followed a randomly displaced step jump target motion. Pendular nystagmus was found in all Parkinson’s subjects, with an average frequency of 7.44 Hz. Saccadic peak velocity and duration along the main sequence were not statistically different f

Abstract:
Two studies of voluntary movement in Parkinson's disease were carried out. In the first study, both parkinsonians and age-matched controls performed unconstrained prehensile movements in which subjects produced reaching and grasping (hand opening/closing) movements under varying conditions of movement amplitude, speed and object size. The act of prehension requires the intersegmental coordination of limb transport and grasp trajectories. Although parkinsonians were slower overall than controls, patients and controls similarly adjusted the spatial and temporal characteristics of their limb move

Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients experience postural instability as a primary motor symptom (Parkinson, 1817). The majority of PD patients use L-dopa to treat motor symptoms associated with the disease; however, extended use of L-dopa can cause involuntary movement production termed L-dopa induced dyskinesia (LID) (Bezard et al., 2001). Recently, researchers have speculated that postural sway variability (CoP variability) is associated with clinically unapparent LID (Rocchi et al., 2004). This experiment sought to determine the relationship between CoP variability and LID in PD patients. Eigh

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a resting tremor combined with varying degrees of rigidity and bradykinesia.

In 1987, deep brain stimulation (DBS), chronic electrical stimulation of deep neural structures using electrodes, was introduced as a clinical treatment for medically refractory tremor in patients with PD.
