Hoehn og Yahr-skala

Sykdomsstadiet vurderes av Hoehn og Yahr-skalaen. Hoehn og Yahr-skalaen er et ofte brukt diagnostisk verktøy for å kvantifisere utviklingen av symptomer på Parkinsons sykdom. Stadier varierer fra 0 (ingen tegn på sykdom) til 5 (krever rullestol, eller sengeliggende med mindre assistert).

Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is a widely used measure of impairment and disability associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD) consisting of four sections: (1) Mentation, behavior, and mood; (2) Activities of daily living (ADLs); (3) Motor; and (4) Complications.Sections I through III are scored using a 5-point Likert-type scale (0 = no impairment; 4 = marked impairment). Although individual sections are scored and reported independently, scores from sections I through III are also summed to provide a UPDRS Total score. The UPDRS total score ranges between 0 and 199 points. Higher points indicates worse outcome.

Berg Balance Scale

Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a scale that using for assess postural stability. It ranges 0-56 with higher score indicates better stability.

Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale

Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC), to quantify the level of confidence in performing a specific task without losing balance or becoming unsteady.The ABC scale is a self-reported questionnaire providing information on balance confidence in the performance of 16 different daily activities, such as stair climbing, walking in the house, and walking on slippery floors. The questionnaire contains 16 items scored on a range from 0% to 100% (0 indicating no confidence and 100 indicating full confidence).
