Synopsis of recent research by authors named "David Gordon Lichter"
- David Gordon Lichter's research primarily focuses on the intersection of motor symptoms, particularly freezing of gait (FOG) and postural instability-gait disorder (PIGD), and their implications for cognitive decline and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD).
- His studies utilized a cross-sectional retrospective approach involving 164 PD subjects, employing assessments such as the MDS-UPDRS scale, MMSE, and Clinical Dementia Rating Scale to identify key clinical factors contributing to cognitive impairment and the overall symptom burden.
- Findings suggest that both FOG and PIGD are significant risk factors for increased cognitive decline and associated non-motor symptoms, thereby highlighting the need for targeted interventions in managing these motor complications in PD patients.
