Parkinsonismos são todas as síndromes que se caracterizam pela combinação dos sinais cardinais fundamentais do Parkinsonismo, que são a bradicinesia, a rigidez e o tremor de repouso, com manifestações adicionais. Tais manifestações adicionais podem ser relativas à ocorrência de alterações no sistema visual, nomeadamente ao nível dos movimentos oculares, que por sua vez, levam a alterações na forma como lemos. Posto isto, aplicou-se neste estudo o teste ADEMd-(Adult Developmental Eye Movement with distracters), que é um teste que implica a análise da forma como o individuo lê através da quantificação dos tempos de leitura das placas pelo qual é constituído e pelos erros que o sujeito comete ao lê-las, avaliando dessa forma a função oculomotora do individuo, bem como a sua capacidade de atenção.
No presente estudo foram analisados os resultados do teste ADEMd realizado por uma amostra constituída por 33 sujeitos portadores de Parkinsonismo os quais foram comparados com uma amostra com 33 sujeitos saudáveis. Verificou-se que os portadores de parkinsonismo demoram mais tempo a efetuar a leitura das placas e cometem mais erros ao lê-las do que os sujeitos saudáveis.
Parkinsonisms are all the syndromes that are characterized by a combination of fundamental cardinal signs of Parkinsonism, which are bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor at rest, with additional demonstrations. Such events may relate to the occurrence of changes in the visual system, particularly in terms of eye movements, which in turn, lead to changes in the way affected people read. That said, this study applies the test ADEMd-(Adult Developmental Eye Movement with distracters), which is a test that involves the analysis of how the individual reads through the quantification of the reading time of the plates and respective reading errors, thereby evaluating the oculomotor function, as well as the attention span. In the present study we analysed the ADEMd test results held by a sample of 33 subjects with Parkinsonism which were compared with a sample of 33 healthy subjects. Our data shows that patients with Parkinsonism take longer to read and present more reading errors when compared to healthy subjects.
