Abstract

Fleisher et al. (p. 277) conducted a pilot study on disease severity and quality of life (QoL) in homebound individuals with advanced Parkinson disease. The authors report high retention and satisfaction with quarterly interdisciplinary home visits and stabilization of QoL in an often-overlooked population. Hewitt et al. (p. 324) evaluated a single case series of 5 patients with medication-refractory orthostatic tremor who were treated with bilateral VIM thalamic deep brain stimulation. Patients experienced a modest increase of up to several minutes in standing time, which translated to meaningful improvement in standing activities of daily living.
