For many years, the need to develop valid tools to evaluate signs
and symptoms of Parkinson Disease (PD) has been present. However
the understanding of all intricacies of rating scales development
was not widely available and the first attempts were relatively
crude. In 2002, the Movement Disorders Society created a task force
to systemize the measurement of Parkinson's Disease. Since then,
the Task Force has produced and published several critiques to the
available rating scales addressing both motor and non-motor domains
of Parkinson Disease. Additionally the task force initiated a
project to develop a new version of the UPDRS, the MDS-UPDRS. But
none of this was made available in one convenient source. Until
now.
Rating Scales in Parkinson's Disease: Clinical Practice and
Research is written for researchers from the medical and social
sciences, and for health professionals wishing to evaluate the
progress of their patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. The
book is both exhaustive in the description of the scales and
informative on the advantages and limitations of each scale. As
such, the text clearly guides readers on how to choose and use the
instruments available. Extensive cross-referenced tables and charts
closely integrate the parts of the book to facilitate readers in
moving from one symptom domain to another.
