Examining the Relationship Between Physical Function and Anxiety/Depression in Parkinson's

This study highlights a discrepancy between psychological symptoms and their relationship with clinician-rated versus participant-reported motor function in PwP. Our findings suggest that factors such as age, cognitive level, and perceived physical function significantly influence this relationship. Consequently, it is crucial to consider psychological factors and participant-reported motor function when conducting clinical assessments and treatment planning for individuals with PD.
