What is the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)?
The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is a comprehensive tool used to assess the severity and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is widely utilized by healthcare professionals, including nurses, to evaluate both motor and non-motor symptoms of the disease. The UPDRS helps in planning and adjusting treatment strategies to improve the quality of life for patients with PD.
