Is virtual reality beneficial for dual-task gait training in patients with Park...
Freitag,Fernanda; Brucki,Sonia Maria Dozzi; Barbosa,Alessandra Ferreira; Chen,Janini; Souza,Carolina de Oliveira; Valente,Débora FrancatoABSTRACT This systematic review examined the evidence about the effects of virtual reality (VR) on dual-task gait training in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: this study (PROSPERO registration CRD42019114736) aimed to answer the question: “Is VR beneficial for dual-task gait training in patients with PD?” We searched for studies from 2008 to 2018 on Medline/PubMed and Web of Science/Web of knowledge databases...
Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the International Cooperative Ataxi...
Maggi,Fernanda Aparecida; Braga-Neto,Pedro; Chien,Hsin Fen; Gama,Maria Thereza Drumond; Rezende Filho,Flávio Moura; Saraiva-Pereira,Maria LuizaABSTRACT Introduction: The clinical assessment of patients with ataxias requires reliable scales. We aimed to translate, adapt and validate the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: The steps of this study were forward translation, translation synthesis, backward translation, expert committee meeting, preliminary pilot testing and final assessment. Thirty pati...
Development of a new haptic perception instrument: a pilot study
Nascimento,Leonardo Penteado; Martini,Joyce; Voos,Mariana Callil; Chien,Hsin Fen; Caromano,Fátima AparecidaABSTRACT Objective Hand sensory tests do not consider distinct physiological receptors, nor detect normal range variations concerning developmental or pathological changes. We developed an instrument with a set of tests with timing and scoring for assessing haptic perception, which is the interaction between sensory and motor systems, in surfaces exploration, by moving hands. Method Firstly, group meetings were...
A diagnostic approach for neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation: clini...
Salomão,Rubens Paulo Araújo; Pedroso,José Luiz; Gama,Maria Thereza Drumond; Dutra,Lívia Almeida; Maciel,Ricardo Horta; Godeiro-Junior,ClécioABSTRACT Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) represents a heterogeneous and complex group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by excessive iron accumulation, particularly in the basal ganglia. Common clinical features of NBIA include movement disorders, particularly parkinsonism and dystonia, cognitive dysfunction, pyramidal signs, and retinal abnormalities. The forms of NBI...
Gait, posture and cognition in Parkinson's disease
Barbosa,Alessandra Ferreira; Chen,Janini; Freitag,Fernanda; Valente,Debora; Souza,Carolina de Oliveira; Voos,Mariana Callil; Chien,Hsin FenABSTRACT Gait disorders and postural instability are the leading causes of falls and disability in Parkinson's disease (PD). Cognition plays an important role in postural control and may interfere with gait and posture assessment and treatment. It is important to recognize gait, posture and balance dysfunctions by choosing proper assessment tools for PD. Patients at higher risk of falling must be referred for r...
The competition with a concurrent cognitive task affects posturographic measure...
Barbosa,Alessandra Ferreira; Souza,Carolina de Oliveira; Chen,Janini; Francato,Débora Valente; Caromano,Fátima Aparecida; Chien,Hsin FenABSTRACTObjectives To estimate the impact of a sensory-motor- cognitive task on postural balance, in Parkinson disease patients (Hoehn and Yahr 2-3) and to investigate possible relationships between posturography and functional balance clinical scales.Method Parkinson disease patients (n = 40) and healthy controls (n = 27) were evaluated with fluency tests, Berg Balance scale, Mini Best test and static posturog...
Frequency of the LRRK2 G2019S mutation in late-onset sporadic patients with Par...
Chien,Hsin Fen; Figueiredo,Tamires Rocha; Hollaender,Marianna Almeida; Tofoli,Fabiano; Takada,Leonel Takao; Pereira,Lygia da Veiga; Barbosa,Egberto ReisMutations in the LRRK2 gene, predominantly G2019S, have been reported in individuals with autosomal dominant inheritance and sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). The G2019S mutation has an age-dependent penetrance and evidence shows common ancestry. The clinical manifestations are indistinguishable from idiopathic PD. Its prevalence varies according to the population studied ranging from less than 0.1% in Asians ...
Specificity and sensibility of 9-Itens Wearing-off Questionnaire in Brazilian P...
Santos,Jasper Guimarães; Chien,Hsin Fen; Barbosa,Egberto ReisObjective (1) To evaluate whether the Nine Items Questionnaire (WOQ-9) for the detection of wearing-off (WO) in Parkinson Disease (PD), by means of its screening ability, is a helpful tool to assist neurologists in diagnosing WO; (2) To determine the sensitivity and the specificity of a free Brazilian Portuguese translation of WOQ-9. Method A sample obtained by convenience included 60 patients. The WOQ-9 was an...
Quality of life in individuals with cervical dystonia before botulinum toxin in...
Queiroz,Mariana Ribeiro; Chien,Hsin Fen; Barbosa,Egberto ReisOBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) in a Brazilian population of individuals with cervical dystonia (CD) without effect of botulinum toxin (BTx) or with only residual effect of BTx, and identify possible physical and social aspects that affect their QoL. METHOD: Sixty five out of sixty seven consecutive patients with CD were assessed with two instruments: Short-form Health...
Botulinum toxin type A in the treatment of hemifacial spasm: an 11-year experience
Barbosa,Egberto Reis; Takada,Leonel Tadao; Gonçalves,Lilian Regina; Costa,Rose Mary Paulo do Nascimento; Silveira-Moriyama,Laura; Chien,Hsin FenIn order to evaluate the long-term effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX) in the treatment of hemifacial spasm (HFS), a retrospective analysis of patients treated at the Movement Disorders Unit of the Division of Neurology, Clinical Hospital, University of São Paulo, School of Medicine from 1993 to 2004 was made. A total of 808 injections with BTX were administered to 54 patients with HFS. The mean duration of ...
