Abstract
To accompany the newly developed Movement Disorder Society revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDSβUPDRS), we developed a teaching program. The DVDβbased program covers the four parts of the scale with visual and verbal instructions for uniform application. For the motor section (Part III), all items except rigidity are shown with an example of each rating option (0β4) as agreed upon by a panel of experts. The rate of agreement for the selected samples was always significant, with Kendall's coefficient of concordance W ranging between 0.99 and 0.72. The teaching program also provides a full patient examination with rating answers provided and four full MDSβUPDRS cases for a Certificate Program exercise of Part III. This training program is in English, but as nonβEnglish official translations of the MDSβUPDRS are developed, the program can be potentially modified into different languages.

We developed a teaching tape of the motor section of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) to provide investigators with a visual document of three raters' interpretations of the scoring system for each item except rigidity.

Scales were ''listed'' if they had been used in PD studies but had little or no psychometric data to assess. Some scales could be used both to screen for fa
