Gait disturbances are among the primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) and contribute significantly to a patient's loss of function and independence. Standard treatment includes antiparkinsonian drugs, primarily levodopa. In addition to the standard drug regime, physical therapy is often presc

Early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is important for the potential application of neuroprotective therapies. The purpose of this study was to assess the detection of the early changes of PD by either imaging the dopamine transporter (DAT) or uptake of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). A
