The impact of Parkinson's disease severity on performance of activities of daily living: an observational study

CONCLUSIONS: The severity of PD is closely related to the impairment of functional skills measured with the AMPS scale in non-demented PD patients. A strong correlation was found with the motor skills. A strong correlation was found between the AMPS process skills scale and Schwab and England ADL scale. A weak correlation was found between the AMPS motor scale and disease duration. The AMPS scale might be a useful tool to monitoring the PD progression through the observation of ADL performance.PMID:37046393 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7608.2022263
