"Many of you will have been wondering about the Tap test we asked you to do as part of the Predict PD pilot study. The Tap test's other name is the BRAIN test, which stands for the Bradykinesia, Akinesia, Incoordination test and pays reference to some of the abnormalities of movement that exist in Parkinson's. The BRAIN test was originally published about 10 years ago, but this year is the first time that it has been available online. This 'Letter to the Editor' of Movement Disorders Journal describes the findings from it's use in a small number of patients with Parkinson's. There is no abstract available but the results will also be presented at the Association of British Neurologists next month and I will upload this in due course."
Welcome to the blog for the PREDICT-PD project. We are working to understand the risk factors for Parkinson's Disease and blogging about advances made in prediction and early detection of the disease.
