Video-tutorial for the Movement Disorder Society criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy

Abstract

Background: The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society-endorsed Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Study Group published clinical diagnostic criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy in 2017, aiming to optimize early, sensitive and specific diagnosis.

Objective: To assist physicians in the application of these criteria, we developed a video-based tutorial in which all core clinical features and clinical clues are depicted and explained.

Methods: Patients provided written informed consent to the publication of their videos. High-quality videos along with essential descriptions were collected by the study group members. Most educational videos were selected in a structured consensus process.

Results: We provide 68 videos of all core clinical features and clinical clues defined by the diagnostic criteria, along with instructive descriptions of the depicted patients, examination techniques and clinical findings.

Conclusions: This comprehensive video-based tutorial will support physicians in the application of the diagnostic criteria of progressive supranuclear palsy.
