Abstract
We sought to design a data visualization platform to represent the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) item scores in an easy-to-use display without modification of the raw data or summary scores. Score items for Parts I, II, and IV were arranged as separate inline blocks, while Part III item blocks were arranged in an anatomical fashion. A color scale was created to represent symptom severity and changes observed from one exam to another. We have found the visualization helpful for quickly defining the most troublesome symptoms and their anatomical location enabling communication of the results and interpretations.
