Neurobehavioral performance of patients diagnosed with manganism and idiopathic Parkinson disease

ConclusionsPatients with manganism had severe bradykinesia and balance disturbances, but only slight postural tremor. In contrast, PD patients had significant postural tremor and bradykinesia, but only slight balance disturbances. Their neurobehavioral performance indicated lateralized impairment, more unilateral. Neurobehavioral performance deteriorated slightly in manganism patients during a 65-month follow-up.
