Methods of Patient Assessment in Surgical Therapy for Movement Disorders

  • Chapter
Surgical Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease and Other Movement Disorders

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Neurology ((CCNEU))

  • 281 Accesses

Abstract

In the biological and social sciences, rating scales are commonly employed for the purposes of measurement. The ability to measure specific movement disorder features over time allows for comparability of outcomes, helps interpretation of results, and minimizes errors of measurement due to standardization.
