10 106 The Relationship between Neuropsychological Functions and Motor Symptoms in Low-educated Nondemented Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Preliminary Study Cheng-Chang Yang 1, Mau-Sun Hua 2, Yih-Ru Wu 3, and Lung Yu 1 1 Institute of Behavioral Medicine, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University 2 Department of Psychology, National Taiwan University 3 Department of Neurology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Abstract Objective: Method: Results: Conclusion: Key words: In the western literature, cognitive decline in the patients with rigidity and bradykinesia features has been noted to be more remarkable than those with a predominant motor symptom of tremor. Accordingly, it has been suggested that these patients with various predominant motor symptoms might have heterogeneous neuropathological involvements. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated these issues in Taiwan. In addition, most of our patients are low-educated and incompatible with those with high education level in western societies. Thus, our study attempted to examine the relationship between neuropsychological function and motor symptoms in low-educated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Forty-seven nondemented PD patients with low education level received Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) for rating their motor severity under "on" condition. Twenty-two healthy subjects, matched for age and education level, served as normal controls. Both groups received a series of neuropsychological tests consisting of mainly memory, visuospatial and executive functions. Data analysis revealed that there was no significant correlation between patients' motor severity and performance on neuropsychological tests. However, patients with a predominant symptom of rigidity showed impaired performance on the cognitive tests while there were no significant differences between patients with a remarkable symptom of tremor or bradykinesia and normal controls in cognitive performance. There were no significant differences between performance of patients with motor staging I and that of normal controls on the neurocognitive tests. However, patients with the stagings II and III performed significantly poorer on the executive function and/or memory tests. Based on our preliminary results, we noted that only patients with a predominant motor symptom of rigidity evidenced remarkable neurocognitive deficits. This result seems to further support findings in western literature. We thus suggest that there is a remarkable relationship between the severity of rigidity and neurocognitive impairments regardless of educational levels. However, since our results were based on a small sample, further investigation on a large scale to re-examine this issue is necessary.
