Pictured above, Dr. Hauser is preforming a neurological exam to assess if the patient has a tremor.
The USF Health Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center is recognized as a National Parkinson Foundation Center of Excellence. As this region’s primary Parkinson’s center, we provide cutting-edge care to patients with Parkinson’s disease, a Parkinson Study Group, and an NIH Neuroprotective Exploratory Trials (NET-PD) site, in which our multi-disciplinary team is developing medications to slow or stop the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
Our facilities also include a Parkinson’s Disease and Balance Center, where patients receive specialized care for their parkinsonism's and balance disorders, including atypical parkinsonism's, such as progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy. We also work extensively with patients with other movement disorders, including essential tremor, ataxia and dystonia. Other treatment options including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, exercise, and nutrition are emphasized. Special attention is paid to the neuropsychiatric needs of movement disorders patients as well. The center also collaborates closely with neurosurgery in treating patients who require deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease and tremor.
As an academic medical center, the USF Health Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center is at the forefront in developing new medical and surgical treatment options. We are an international leader in the advancing of Parkinson’s disease management, and we utilize this new knowledge to improve both diagnosis and patient care.

Brief summary:
The Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) is a longitudinal,
observational, multi-center natural history study to assess progression of clinical
features, digital outcomes, and imaging, biologic and genetic markers of
Parkinson's disease (PD) progression in study participants with manifest PD,
prodromal PD, and healthy controls.
The overall goal of PPMI is to identify markers of disease progression for use in
clinical trials of therapies to reduce progression of PD disability.
