Abstract

Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the most common extrapyramidal
syndrome encountered in the aging population. The major signs of Parkinson's
disease are tremor, rigidity, akinesia, and postural instability. The diagnosis
of PD remains a Clinical judgement without any confirmatory laboratory diagnostic
procedure available or required. In this study we made transcranial cortical
stimulation (TCCS) in 13 PD patients and motor evoked potential (MEP) recorded
from soleus and anterior tibial muscle. In all patients three experimental
paradigmas were performed; rest, voluntary dorsiflexion, voluntary plantar
flexion.

Parkinson Hastalığında Motor Uyarılmış Potansiyeller

Abstract

Parkinson Hastalığı (PH), ileri yaşlarda en sık karşımıza çıkan
extrapiramidal sendromdur. Başlıca belirtileri, tremor, rijidite, akinezi ve
postüral instabilitedir. Tanı herhangi bir laboratuvar desteği olmadan klinik
bulgulara dayanır. Bu çalışmada Parkinson hastalığı olan 13 hastada
transkranial kortikal stimulasyon (TCCS) ile motor uyarılmış potansiyeller (MEP)
incelendi. İstirahat, dorsal fleksiyon ve plantar fleksiyon gibi 3 deneysel
paradigma ile alt extremiteden soleus ve tibialis anterior kaslarından kayıtlanan
motor uyarılmış potansiyeller incelendi.

Keywords

Parkinson hastalığı, motor uyarılmış potansiyeller
