Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Johannes Lewe"
- Johannes Lewe's research primarily focuses on the progression of Parkinson's disease, specifically analyzing the effectiveness of various assessment methods for motor performance in patients undergoing dopaminergic therapy.
- In his 2005 study published in "Movement Disorders," Lewe and his team found that "fast tapping" is not a reliable parameter for assessing motor performance in Parkinson's disease over time.
- The study utilized a comprehensive set of tests conducted over a four-year period with 411 newly diagnosed patients, highlighting the need for more precise methods to evaluate motor deficits in clinical settings.
