Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is a tool doctors use to measure the severity of Parkinson's disease symptoms. It assesses various aspects like movement difficulties, tremors, balance, speech, and daily activities. By scoring these areas, healthcare providers can track how the disease progresses over time and how well treatments are working. The scale helps ensure consistent and comprehensive evaluation, guiding personalized care and better understanding of the condition’s impact on a patient's life.
