Clinical characteristics of aged Becker muscular dystrophy patients with onset after 30 years.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Parkinson's disease (PD) is commonly characterized by its motor symptoms such as resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability; however, some of the most debilitating symptoms of this disease are non-motor ones such as dementia and sialorrhea (drooling). Drooling is caused by impaired swall...
