Visual Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale: A Universal Iconic Questionnaire for Epidemiological Studies in India
There is a great need to gather data from vast populations to better understand the distribution of Parkinson’s disease and the variation in its symptoms, ultimately to aid in its diagnosis, determination of symptom severity, and prediction of disease progression in individuals. Toward these ends...
