“…Moreover, patients may report an urge to move due to nocturnal akinesia/hypokinesia. Lakke and colleagues have shown that axial rotation is even more disturbed in the recumbent position than while standing, which may lead to increase of symptoms due to hypokinesia at rest or during the night, mimicking RLS symptoms [83].…”

Sleep disturbances are common in Parkinson's disease and comprise the entire spectrum of sleep disorders. On the one hand regulation of sleep and wakefulness is affected in Parkinson's disease, leading to the development of disorders, such as insomnia and daytime sleepiness. While on the other hand control of motor activity during sleep is impaired, with subsequent manifestation of parasomnias (mainly REM sleep behavior disorders, but also, albeit more rarely, sleepwalking, and overlap parasomnia). Restless legs syndrome has been reported to be frequent in patients with Parkinson's disease, although there is no consensus on whether it is more frequent in Parkinson's disease than in the general population. The same is true for sleep-related breathing disorders. Regarding the diagnosis of sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease, one of the main challenges is correctly identifying excessive daytime sleepiness as there are many potential confounding factors, for example it is necessary to distinguish sleeprelated breathing disorders from medication effects, and to distinguish restless legs syndrome from the concomitant presence of potential mimics specific to Parkinson's disease, such as akathisia, nocturnal leg cramps, nocturnal hypokinesia, early morning dystonia, etc. The correct diagnosis of REM sleep behavior disorder is also not always easy, and video-polysomnography should be performed in order to exclude mimic-like movements at the end of sleep apneas or violent periodic leg movements of sleep. These aspects and specific considerations about diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease will be reviewed.

“…Difficulty turning over in bed is clearly part of the overall problem of axial motor impairments in Parkinson's disease. The question arises as to whether this difficulty, and other axial movement disturbances, are true apraxias, as implied by Lakke et al [7][8][9] Attempts have been made to establish whether the disorder of generating motor sequences in patients with Parkinson's disease relates to classic tests of limb apraxia. Cox et al"3 studied 40 patients with Parkinson's disease and found no association of disordered truncal movements with limb apraxia, or with severity (as assessed by Webster rating), or with duration of Parkinson's disease.…”

“…Several patient populations are susceptible to diminished axial rotation inherent to the natural progression of the disease with which they are afflicted (Weinrich, Koch, Garcia, & Angel, 1988;Weller, Bowes, Kirk, Nicholson, Dobbs, & Dobbs, 1991;Weller, Nicholson, Dobbs, Bowes, Purkiss, & Dobbs, 1992;Kuhlman, 1993;Netzer & Payne, 1993;Lubrano, Butterworth, Hesselden , Wells, & Helliwell, 1998). Persons with Parkinson's disease are particularly vulnerable to diminished thoracic rotation, reduced axial musculature recruitment (Lakke, van Weerden, & Staal-schreinemachers, 1984;Schenkman, et al, 1995) and increased axial apraxias (Martens, Whishaw, Miklyaeva, & Pellis, 1996). Bradykinesia present in persons with Parkinson's disease affects their ability to turn in bed (Steiger, Thompson, & Marsden, 1996), rotate while standing, reverse direction (turn), and walk (Murray, Sepic, Gardner, & Downs, 1978).…”

This study established the test-retest reliability of a seated Functional Rotation Test monitoring hand-pointing, together with head and trunk-rotation performance, in people with Parkinson's disease. An ancillary purpose was to establish the concurrent validity between the Functional Rotation Test and an electrogoniometer. 10 males with Parkinson's disease (M age=70.5 yr.; Hoehn and Yahr staging severity ranging from II to IV) were recruited. Subjects were fitted with laser-pointing devices, sat in the Functional Rotation room, and were instructed to turn actively and point to their right (or left) as far as they could comfortably manage. Tagged projections were scored (in degrees). Testing was repeated after a brief interval. Electrogoniometer projected locations were compared with Functional Rotation Test scores. Intraclass correlation coefficients (.91 to .97) indicated excellent test-retest reliability. There was also excellent agreement between electrogoniometric and Functional Rotation Test values (Intraclass correlation coefficients=.99). Thus the Functional Rotation Test provides a replicable measure of axial rotation of head, trunk, and hand-pointing in seated subjects with Parkinson's disease.
