As you work through the Virtual Parkinson's Lab, there is a great deal of information to keep track of and explanations that will help you succeed. This handout will be a helpful guide. It has questions that will help you focus on central issues and has information that will aid you in your tasks.

THE VIRTUAL PARKINSON'S LAB (Video Version)

THE VIDEO

Open this video in a browser. Pay careful attention to everything that happens on the screen and PAUSE THE VIDEO to read all of the text and observe everything that happens. The video purposely gives little time for reading text so each person can pause the video for as long as is needed. During the video you will be referred to the Electronic Medical Record (ERM). That resource is available in both .pdf and video versions below. NOTE: It will take much longer to complete the lab than the running time of the video because of the many pauses that will be required.

This virtual lab was originally an interactive Flash animation. Flash was retired at the end of 2020. This video preserves all the content of the original. Read all of the text and watch all of the animation. Pause the video as needed.

Instructions for how to complete this lab are HERE.

ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (ERM)

The ERM is a helpful reference. There is a PDF version with all of the text and images (but without the video content). A video version includes all video content as well as text and images.

There are two ways to read the virtual books. The most convenient way for most people will be to open each chapter as a webpage in a separate browser tab or browser window. The link to each chapter is found below. A second way to read the chapters is in the video itself. The video scrolls down each chapter page, spending only a few seconds on each paragraph. Pause the video to read what is on the screen or, if you prefer, open the webpages below that have all the book chapters.
