Medically, parkinsonism refers to any condition that causes symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease tremors at rest, muscle rigidity, slow movement, and changes in walking.

Movement disorders lead to either increased or slow movement affecting actions you choose to make. There are several types of ...

Parkinsonism was linked with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in athletes, an analysis of cross-sectional data suggested. Nearly one in four (24.7%) of 481 deceased contact sports ...

JEV-related parkinsonism includes bradykinesia, rigidity, masked facies, and hypotonia, most of which resolve within 3 weeks except for a few patients who manifest a permanent loss of voice volume.

He noted that the key to solving the case was using the T1 MRI sequence. "It's frequent that we do MRI for patients with atypical parkinsonism, but usually we would go to the flare [a manipulation ...

Parkinsonism causes a combination of the movement abnormalities that are typical in Parkinson's disease, such as tremors and impaired movement, and often ushers in Parkinson's.

A technique that uses videos and machine learning to quantify motor symptoms in early-stage Parkinson's disease could help reveal signs of the disease and other movement disorders earlier, which could ...

Parkinsonism results from damage to nerve cells below the thalamus, deep in the brain. Though the cause of this damage in many cases cannot be traced, it is known that encephalitis is often to blame.

He noted that some people with CTE who had extensive tangles in the substantia nigra did not have parkinsonism, suggesting they may be more resilient to tau pathology. The authors caution that the ...

Parkinsonism is a group of neurological disorders that share similar symptoms, including motor dysfunction and cognitive decline. It includes Parkinson’s disease but also encompasses other ...

Lewy Body dementia is thought to be the third-most common form of dementia, ranking after Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.

A team of scientists led by Prof. Patrik Verstreken (VIB-KU Leuven) has identified a new genetic mutation that may cause a form of early-onset Parkinsonism. The mutation, located in a gene called ...
