Researchers are testing a newly developed, experimental molecular test that could help doctors diagnose Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy and, dementia with Lewy bodies earlier.

In the development of Parkinson's disease (PD), the changes that will lead to neurodegeneration take place in the brain long before patients show any symptoms.

There is about to be a revolution in the process of diagnosing and treating Parkinson's disease. The researchers' molecular assay platform is a hope f

<p>In the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD), the changes that will lead to neurodegeneration take place in the brain long before patients show any symptoms. But without a test that can detect these changes, it’s difficult to intervene early to more effectively slow disease progression. </p> <p>Researchers from the <a href="http://brighamandwomens.org/">Brigham and Women’s Hospital</a>, a founding member...

Researchers deploy a soft, wearable robot to combat freezing, a common and debilitating symptom of Parkinson's disease.

Robotic exosuit eliminated gait freezing, a common and highly debilitating symptom. Freezing is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects more than 9 million people worldwide. When individuals with Parkinson’s disease freeze

Engineers, rehab specialists, therapists, biomechanists, and apparel designers collaborated to utilize soft wearable robots, combating gait freezing in Parkinsons.

Freezing is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects more than 9 million people worldwide.
