definition

Description: Next to the cardinal features of Parkinson’s disease (tremor, bradykinesia and rigidity), other motor features are seen in different areas, like craniofacial, visual, musculoskeletal and in gait. Hypomimia, or facial masking, is one of the craniofacial features, is often present in patients with Parkinson's disease and is frequently named, so we decided to score this separately. Occasionally it can be described in other neurodegenerative diseases, like MSA-type P for example.

Exclusion_criteria

NOTE: ‘reduced mimic’ means reduced facial expression arising from a too literal translation of Dutch to English. This can be scored as TRUE for ‘Facial masking'. This is often described together with reduced/decreased eye-blink. We scored as TRUE: masked face; mask-like face; altered mimic, hypomimia, masked facies, masking of facies, mask-like facial expression. We scored other remarks as TRUE: for example: ‘patient’s face was like mask’. We did NOT score: reduced eye-blink/decreased spontaneous eye blink rate (this is a different/separate craniofacial motor feature).
