The objective of this study was to determine the influence of stereotactic ablative surgical interventions on the time required for the performance of manual tasks (i.e. performance time) in @entity1 with @entity191 ( @entity191 ). We studied 28 @entity1 after pallidotomy and pallido-thalamotomy who were evaluated at four time: before the operation, and 2 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The speed of performance of handwriting and drawing were assessed by means of a chronometer using certain parts of an international standard scale (modified by Fahn). The @entity1 were also assessed according to the Unified @entity191 Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III. The @entity1 were divided into two groups. Those in group A had relief of all main @entity304 after pallidotomy including @entity400 . The @entity1 in group B had no relief of @entity400 straight after pallidotomy. For them the pallidotomy was completed with thalamotomy in the same sitting, which had resulted in cessation of @entity400 . The time of performance of the manual tasks diminished significantly in all cases in both groups (Student's t-test: p<0.0001). No complications developed following pallidotomy. @entity9917 caused transient adverse effects in two @entity1 , and one @entity1 developed permanent adverse effects such as @entity4653 and dysequilibrium. Significant improvements were observed in the speed of handwriting and drawing in both groups, but pallido-thalamotomy was accompanied with complications.
