Getting a good night sleep? The importance of recognizing and treating nocturnal hypokinesia in Parkinson's disease
2018, Parkinsonism and Related DisordersCitation Excerpt :Since then nocturnal hypokinesia has been variously described in the medical literature as impaired bed mobility, inability to turn in bed, disordered axial movements, nocturnal immobility, and nocturnal wearing-off [1,3–6]. In addition, the much early term ‘axial apraxia’ illustrated the difficulties PD patients face in performing axial rotation in the horizontal plane despite sufficient levodopa treatment [7,8], but may also represent nocturnal hypokinesia as well. Based on these descriptors, nocturnal hypokinesia has been identified in 54–70% of PD patients, and negatively affects sleep quality, sleep efficiency, and quality of life of patients as well as imposing significant burden on carers [1–3], [5,6].
Sequence and onset of whole-body coordination when turning in response to a visual trigger: Comparing people with Parkinson's disease and healthy adults
2014, Gait and PostureCitation Excerpt :When standing or walking, attempts to turn can trigger freezing or result in a fall [13–16]. Difficulty when turning is associated with a cluster of gait deficits [17–19] and might have both central (basal ganglia) and peripheral (muscle and joint) causes undermining the timing and quality of movement. In healthy adults, it has been suggested that whole-body movements are determined by coordinated eye and head movements and that there is a clear sequence ‘from top to bottom’ when young healthy individuals perform visually guided tasks that require whole-body orientation [20].
Subjectively impaired bed mobility in Parkinson disease affects sleep efficiency
2013, Sleep MedicineCitation Excerpt :After levodopa treatment, the turning in bed improved in addition to the axial rigidity and bradykinesia [9]. However, this finding is in contrast to the findings of Lakke et al. [22–24], who described patients with difficulties turning when lying recumbent. Levodopa therapy improved rigidity and bradykinesia but turning difficulties remained.
