帕金森氏症(PD)患者通常需要疗养院护理，那里的神经科医生提供的机会有限。远程医疗使用信息和通信技术为地理上不同的前台提供者提供医疗保健。我们提供了一段视频报告，一位患有帕金森病的养老院居民接受了一位运动障碍专家超过8个月的远程医疗访问。这些访问导致了运动和认知症状的改善，并表明远程医疗可能有助于向这一人群提供护理。(C)2009年流动无序协会
Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) often require nursing home care, where access to neurologists is limited. Telemedicine uses information and communication technologies to provide health care to individuals who are geographically separate front providers. We present a video report of a nursing home resident with PD who received telemedicine visits over 8 months from a movement disorders specialist. The visits resulted in improvements in motor and cognitive symptoms and suggest that telemedicine may be useful for delivering care to this population. (C) 2009 Movement Disorder Society
