| Abstract |
A 50-year-old man was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 43 years. The patient was hospitalized because of frozen gait and tendency to fall and showed abnormal postures of marked antecollis and stooped posture. The angle of the abnormal posture dramatically fluctuated, and the fluctuation coincided with the motor symptoms over the course of a 24-hour period. Treatment with rotigotine was started, and diurnal fluctuations in the gait disorder and abnormal posture were recorded. The time recorded in the Timed Up & Go test decreased after treatment with rotigotine in a dose-dependent manner, particularly early in the morning. The angle of the abnormal posture improved with a 4 mg/24 hr dose of rotigotine but worsened with a dose of 8 mg/24 hr. Because abnormal posture is a known side effect of dopamine agonists such as rotigotine, it is possible that high-dose rotigotine worsened the abnormal posture, whereas the low-dose improved the abnormal posture because of undertreatment. This case highlights the importance of observing the diurnal fluctuation in abnormal posture for developing a strategy for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 December 2017.
All research outputs
#23,195,360
of 25,850,671 outputs
Outputs from Rinshō shinkeigaku Clinical neurology
#527
of 697 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#347,834
of 405,820 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Rinshō shinkeigaku Clinical neurology
#6
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,850,671 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 697 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 405,820 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
