Guide to Assessment Scales in Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract

The complex nature of Parkinson’s disease (PD) requires the use of multi-purpose and comprehensive assessment tools that cover a wide array of symptoms. The Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) has been widely used and extensively tested for its clinimetric properties. The recently developed Movement Disorders Society (MDS) sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) has shown satisfactory quality of its attributes and probably will replace the UPDRS in the coming years.
