Efficacy of Repetitive Trans-spinal Magnetic Stimulation for Patients with Parkinson's Disease: a Randomised Controlled Trial.

We evaluated the effect of repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (rTSMS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in a randomised, single-blind study. Participants were hospitalised and administered a single trial of rTSMS or sham treatment 2 days a week for 4 weeks. In addition, all participants underwent rehabilitation 5 days a week for 4 weeks.

Sociability-based fitness approach in Parkinson's disease: Comparison with conventional rehabilitation.

Background And Purpose: The effect of a sociability-based fitness approach on parkinsonian disability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) was assessed.

Methods: Eighty patients diagnosed with PD were randomly assigned to either the group-based rehabilitation (GBR) group (n = 40) or the individual-based rehabilitation (IBR) group (n = 40). The primary outcome was the difference between the two groups in the mean change from baseline to post-training in the total score on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).

[Use of Sports in the Rehabilitation of Parkinson's Disease].

Parkinson's disease is a slowly progressing disease where motor function gradually worsens. It is a well-known fact that neuronal plasticity is said to be said, and rehabilitation after developing a cerebrovascular disorder is important. After a stroke, the patient's condition start from its worst state and a goal for improvement can be set for the rehabilitation period However, in Parkinson's disease, rehabilitation is effective in preventing the patient's condition from worsening further, making it difficult to set a goal.

[A clinicopathological investigation of two autopsy cases of calpainopathy (LGMD2A)].

In this study, we compared the clinicopathological findings of two autopsy cases of patients with calpainopathy (LGMD2A) from different families. The patient in case 1 was a 72-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. He exhibited recent memory impairments from the age of 70.

Immediate effect of spinal magnetic stimulation on camptocormia in Parkinson's disease.

Objectives: Spinal cord stimulation is a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD)-associated symptoms. Repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (rTSMS) is a non-invasive and safe alternative for stimulation of spinal pathways that has not been studied for therapeutic efficacy in PD. We assessed the benefits of rTSMS on camptocormia, an often treatment-resistant postural abnormality observed in PD patients.

[A new rehabilitation strategy for patients with Parkinson disease: a proposal of mentality-orientated rehabilitation].

Rehabilitation, a treatment strategy that involves group effort with multiple specialists, roles, and facilities, is widely offered to patients in need. The current rehabilitation strategy is mainly disability oriented, and, in principle, starts from the evaluation of motor function and aims to strengthen the deteriorated function/s. Therefore, this method is very effective for patients with acute diseases.
