It particularly stresses the importance of rehabilitation and total patient care. Topics covered include: * Differential diagnosis and epidemiology * Drug-induced parkinsonism and gait apraxia * The drug treatment of elderly patients * Cognitive impairment in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease * The multidisciplinary rehabilitation team Being a comprehensive, practical and enlightened account of Parkinson's disease in the elderly, and drawing on international experts, this book will appeal to clinicians in the various disciplines involved with neurological disease and rehabilitation in elderly people.
