Default more data

I am going to start by pasting in the first and last UPDRS that I did. Then I will move on to a second post so that it doesn't get too long-

The earliest one=

11/06/05:
The 31 items on the UPDRS are divided into 3 major categories. Each item
is scored from 0 to 4. 0 = No impact / 4 = Major Impact.
Scoring is Medicated/Unmedicated..

Mentation, Mood, and Behavior:
Intellectual impairment = 0/3
Thought disorder = 0/3
Depression = 0/0
Motivation/initiative = 0/2

Daily Living:
Speech = 0/2
Salivation = 0/0
Swallowing = 0/1
Handwriting = 0/1
Use of eating utensils = 0/2
Dressing = 0/3
Hygiene = 0/3
Turning in bed = 0/3
Falling = 0/3
Freezing while walking = 0/4
Walking = 0/3
Tremor = 0/2
Sensory complaints = 0/2

Motor Function:
Speech = 0/2
Facial expression = 0/3
Tremor at rest = 0/3
Action or postural tremor = 0/2
Rigidity = 0/3
Finger taps = 0/3
Hand movements = 0/3
Rapid alternating movements = 0/3
Foot agility = 0/3
Arising from chair = 0/3
Posture = 0/4
Gait = 0/4
Postural stability = 0/4
Body bradykinesia = 0/4
Totals = 0/78 of possible 124



The latest one=

UPDRS Rating Scale – Date: __4__/__20__/__08__

The 31 items on the UPDRS are divided into 3 major categories. Each item
is scored from 0 to 4. 0 = No impact / 4 = Major Impact.

Depression =0/1
Motivation/initiative =0/2

Dressing =0/3
Hygiene =0/2
Turning in bed =0/1
Falling =0/3
Freezing while walking =0/2
Walking =0/2
Tremor =0/2
Sensory complaints =0/1

Motor Function:
Speech =0/1
