Shaking Things Up: Recognizing and Managing Parkinson's Plus Syndromes

Event Date: Sep 25, 2025

During this presentation, we'll explore the diagnosis and management of Parkinson’s Plus syndromes, including Lewy Body Dementia, Multiple System Atrophy, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and Corticobasal Degeneration. Using a real-world case, we'll review key etiologies, clinical features, examination findings, and distinguishing characteristics of these conditions. Attendees will learn practical strategies for assessment and the importance of differentiating syndromes to guide treatment for older adults living with these complex neurodegenerative disorders.
