Purpose: Despite the overall benefits of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD), its effects on speech production have been mixed when examined using auditory-perceptual and acoustic measures. This study investigated the effects of DBS on the lip and jaw kinematics during sentence production in individuals with dysarthria secondary to PD.
Method: Twenty-seven participants from three groups were included in the study: (a) individuals with PD and without DBS (PD group), (b) individuals with PD and with DBS (PD-DBS group), and (c) neurologically healthy control speakers (HC group).
Background: The Movement Disorders Society (MDS) recently proposed guidelines for diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) that includes two assessment levels: abbreviated (Level I) and comprehensive (Level II). The aim of this study was to determine the utility of the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS), a recommended Level I test, for detecting Level II PD-MCI diagnosis.
Methods: The study sample included 30 patients diagnosed with PD-MCI based on Level II MDS criteria and 68 PD patients with normal cognition (PD-NC).
Objective: Although it is well known that Parkinson's disease (PD) with dementia results in functional decline, little is known about the impact of mild cognitive impairment in PD (PD-MCI) on day-to-day functioning.
Method: Forty-one individuals with PD-MCI, 56 PD patients with normal cognition (PD-NC), and 47 healthy older adults were administered two performance-based measures of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) that evaluated medication and financial management. Informants of the PD patients were also administered an IADL questionnaire.
