Dear sir,

I am Reza Ghaffari,

I am manager of ((Neurology Group))  in Isfahan Medical Students Research Center;IMSRC(In Iran).



I am Searching for some scales for Measurement & Assessment of following factors in Parkinsonism(for a clinical trial study) :

1- Tremor :Grading of tremor by a simple way for assessment&measurement of severity of tremor with Simple & Accessible Tools.

2- Gait :Grading of Gait in Parkinson's Disease.

3- Grading of Speech,Walking,Rigidity,Bradykinesia of hands&other limbs and etc.

   ( All factors of Disability in Parkinsonism is minding for me).



I have an old questionnaire of grading of disability in parkinsonism (Critical Analysis of Disability in Parkinson's disease:Medical Treatment,5,257-282. ,1968 ! ),this scale is not valid&reliable enough,also hasn't simple ,accessible and objective way for assessment & measurement .unfortunately this scale is the only our accessible scale!.



Please help me to find new better scales and questionnaires for my study ,free.(Preferly with email because of its speed!) and if possible,send them for me with email.

I am looking toward to hearing from you as soon as possible.



Thank you in advance and wishing your success.

With kind regard,

Reza Ghaffari,M.D

Dear Dr. Ghaffari:



I would contact the internet site of the Parkinson's Society.  They would have the most current information on scoring for Parkinson's disease.



Sincerely,



CCF Neuro MD
