Visuospatial discrimination was evaluated longitudinally in 45 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. 47 normal matched subjects served as controls. Visuospatial discrimination was assessed by means of a picture test with complex superimposed objects (Poppelreuter's test) at the beginning of the study as well as three years later. At initial evaluation the group with Parkinson's disease identified fewer objects than the control group and made more errors. Relations between performance on the visuospatial discrimination task and the main parameters of the disease were not statistically significant. At reevaluation, three years later on the same task, performance by the group with Parkinson's disease deteriorated. Longitudinal assessment of motor symptoms showed that disease progressed during the study period in 35 patients. Comparison of motor deterioration with performance on the visuospatial discrimination task showed no statistically significant relationship.
对45例特发性帕金森病患者的视觉空间辨别能力进行了纵向评估。47名匹配的正常受试者作为对照。在研究开始时以及三年后，通过带有复杂叠加物体的图片测试（波佩尔罗伊特测试）对视觉空间辨别能力进行评估。在初始评估中，帕金森病组识别的物体比对照组少，且错误更多。视觉空间辨别任务的表现与疾病的主要参数之间的关系无统计学意义。三年后在同一任务上进行重新评估时，帕金森病组的表现恶化。对运动症状的纵向评估表明，在研究期间35例患者的病情进展。运动功能恶化与视觉空间辨别任务表现的比较显示无统计学意义的关系。
