- Relationship Between Posturography, Clinical Balance and Executive Function in Parkinson ' s Disease(2019) SOUZA, Carolina de Oliveira; VOOS, Mariana Callil; BARBOSA, Alessandra Ferreira; CHEN, Janini; FRANCATO, Debora Cristina Valente; MILOSEVIC, Matija; POPOVIC, Milos; FONOFF, Erich Talamoni; CHIEN, Hsin Fen; BARBOSA, Egberto ReisThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship between posturography, clinical balance, and executive function tests in Parkinson ' s disease (PD). Seventy-one people participated in the study. Static posturography evaluated the center of pressure fluctuations in quiet standing and dynamic posturography assessed sit-to-stand, tandem walk, and step over an obstacle. Functional balance was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale, MiniBESTest, and Timed Up and Go test. Executive function was assessed by Trail Making Test (TMT) and semantic verbal fluency test. Step over obstacle measures (percentage of body weight transfer and movement time) were moderately correlated to Timed Up and Go, part B of TMT and semantic verbal fluency (r > 0.40; p < 0.05 in all relationships). Stepping over an obstacle assesses the responses to internal perturbations. Participants with shorter movement times and higher percentage of body weight transfer (higher lift up index) on this task were also faster in Timed Up and Go, part B of TMT, and semantic verbal fluency. All these tasks require executive function (problem solving, sequencing, shifting attention), which is affected by PD and contribute to postural assessment.

L.- Non-invasive brain stimulation and kinesiotherapy for treatment of focal dystonia: Instrumental analysis of three cases(2020) SOUZA, Carolina de Oliveira; GOULARDINS, Juliana; COELHO, Daniel Boari; CASAGRANDE, Sara; CONTI, Juliana; LIMONGI, Joao Carlos Papaterra; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; MONTE-SILVA, Katia; TANAKA, ClariceDystonia is a disabling movement disorder characterized by co-contraction of antagonist and agonist muscles, leading to abnormal sustained postures and impaired motor control. Cervical Dystonia (CD) and Hand Focal Dystonia (HFD) have been the most common forms of focal dystonia (FD). Do Non-Invasive Brain Neuromodulation (NIBS) such as Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) modulate the excitability of the connections between the motor cortical areas and may represent a therapeutic alternative for focal dystonia? Herein, we reported three cases of focal dystonia, two of them with cervical dystonia (CD) and one with hand focal dystonia (HFD), treated with NIBS combined to kinesiotherapy. The patients were daily submitted to 15 sessions of NIBS combined simultaneously with kinesiotherapy. CD patients were treated with tDCS (2 mA, 20 min, over the primary motor cortex), and HFD patient with rTMS (1 Hz, 1200 pulses, 80% of resting motor threshold, over the premotor cortex). For the CD patient's assessment, the Modified Toronto Scale for Cervical Dystonia Assessment (MTS), quiet balance test, and visual postural assessment were applied to observe the therapeutic effects. Quality handwriting analysis, tremor acceleration amplitudes, and the Wrinter's Cramp Rating Scale (WCRS) were used to assess the NIBS effect on HFD symptoms. Patients were evaluated before (pretest), immediately after (posttest), and three months after treatment (retention). NIBS associated with kinesiotherapy produced a long-term improvement of dystonia symptoms in all three patients. rTMS and tDCS associated with kinesiotherapy showed to be useful and safe to relief the dystonia symptoms in individuals with different types of focal dystonia with distinct functional disorders. Significance: The combined use of these intervention strategies seems to optimize and anticipate satisfactory clinical results in these neurological conditions, characterized by its difficult clinical management.

- Spinal cord stimulation improves gait in patients with Parkinson's disease previously treated with deep brain stimulation(2017) SOUZA, Carolina Pinto de; HAMANI, Clement; SOUZA, Carolina Oliveira; CONTRERAS, William Omar Lopez; GHILARDI, Maria Gabriela dos Santos; CURY, Rubens Gisbert; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; FONOFF, Erich TalamoniBackgroundDeep brain stimulation and levodopatherapy ameliorate motor manifestations in Parkinson's disease, but their effects on axial signs are not sustained in the long term. ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation on gait disturbance in advanced Parkinson's disease. MethodsA total of 4 Parkinson's disease patients who experienced significant postural instability and gait disturbance years after chronic subthalamic stimulation were treated with spinal cord stimulation at 300Hz. Timed-Up-GO and 20-meter-walk tests, UPDRS III, freezing of gait questionnaire, and quality-of-life scores were measured at 6 months and compared to baseline values. Blinded assessments to measure performance in the Timed-Up-GO and 20-meter-walk tests were carried out during sham stimulation at 300Hz and 60Hz. ResultsPatients treated with spinal cord stimulation had approximately 50% to 65% improvement in gait measurements and 35% to 45% in UPDRS III and quality-of-life scores. During blinded evaluations, significant improvements in the Timed-Up-GO and 20-meter-walk tests were only recorded at 300Hz. ConclusionSpinal cord stimulation at 300Hz was well tolerated and led to a significant improvement in gait. (c) 2016 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
