Dystonia Associated with Idiopathic Slow Orthostatic Tremor.

Background: We aimed to characterize the clinical and electrophysiological features of patients with slow orthostatic tremor.

Case Report: The clinical and neurophysiological data of patients referred for lower limb tremor on standing were reviewed. Patients with symptomatic or primary orthostatic tremor were excluded.

The effect of gym training on multiple outcomes in Parkinson's disease: a pilot randomised waiting-list controlled trial.

There is accumulating evidence for the benefits of exercise in Parkinson's disease (PD), but less is known about group exercise interventions. We evaluated the effect of gym-training programme on people with PD. Thirty-two adults with mild to moderate PD, not currently exercising formally, were randomised to an immediate 20-week biweekly gym training programme at a local leisure complex, or a 10-week programme starting 10 weeks later.

An investigation of co-speech gesture production during action description in Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) can impact enormously on speech communication. One aspect of non-verbal behaviour closely tied to speech is co-speech gesture production. In healthy people, co-speech gestures can add significant meaning and emphasis to speech.

Object affordance and spatial-compatibility effects in Parkinson's disease.

Movement in Parkinson's disease (PD) is strongly influenced by sensory stimuli. Here, we investigated two features of visual stimuli known to affect response times in healthy individuals; the spatial location of an object (the spatial effect) and its action-relevance (the 'affordance' effect).
