AbstractIt is difficult to chart “normal movements” in atypical populations, such as those with Parkinson's disease, because there is great variability in the pattern of motor changes, both within and between patients. However, the potential clinical implications of Latash & Anson's theme are positive and powerful.

Compensation strategies are an essential part of managing gait impairments in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We conducted an online survey among 320 healthcare professionals with specific expertise in PD management, to evaluate their knowledge of compensation strategies for gait impairments in people with PD, and whether they applied these in daily practice. Only 35% of professionals was aware of all categories of compensation strategies. Importantly, just 23% actually applied all seven available categories of strategies when treating people with PD in clinical practice. We discuss the clinical implications, and provide recommendations to overcome this knowledge gap.

✓ Sixteen neurosurgeons were requested to define their preferred surgical target for treatment of parkinsonism. The scattergram thus obtained showed a great variability among surgeons. Although there was a concentration of targets in the ventrolateral (VL) nucleus of the thalamus, there was a separation by as much as 6 to 7 mm between targets. One surgeon placed the lesion in the subthalamic white matter below the VL nucleus, and two placed it outside the thalamus in the pallidothalamic pathways in Forel's field. It is assumed that successful surgery interrupts the pallidothalamocortical pathways that transmit tremor and rigidity impulses, regardless of which part of the pathways is severed.
