Abstract

Interrater reliability of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor examination was assessed by three neurologists experienced in the administration of this scale. Intraclass correlation coefficients indicated good‐to‐excellent agreement for speeded repeated movements, resting tremor, arising from a chair, and gait; moderate agreement for action tremor, rigidity, posture, postural stability, and bradykinesia; and poor agreement for speech disorder and facial immobility. Overall, these results indicate that satisfactory interrater reliability is attainable with the UPDRS motor examination.

## Abstract The most widely used scale currently available for the clinical evaluation of motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD)β€”the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale‐III (UPDRS‐III) β€”is time‐consuming, subjective, and has suboptimal sensitivity.
