Can cognitive remediation improve mobility in patients with Parkinson's disease?
These initial findings suggest that computerized cognitive training can improve cognitive function and has a beneficial carryover effect to certain aspects of mobility in patients with PD. Additional studies are required to replicate these findings and more fully assess the underlying mechanisms. Nonetheless, the present results underscore the motor-cognitive link in PD and suggest that computerized cognitive training may be applied as a therapeutic option to enhance mobility in patients with PD.
Based on this study, ultrasound imaging is recommended as the method of choice for visualisation of the distal biceps tendon if performed with the necessary accuracy.
