Appointment prep
Prepare for a progressive supranuclear palsy evaluation
Balance problems, falls, eye movement difficulties, and personality changes in mid-to-late life are often attributed to normal aging or Parkinson's. Medvo helps you document the specific features and request neurology referral — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Frequent unexplained falls, especially backward
- · Difficulty looking up or down, blurred vision, and light sensitivity
- · Slowed thinking, apathy, or emotional changes
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Referral to a movement disorders neurologist
- · MRI to assess midbrain atrophy when clinically appropriate
- · Documentation of eye movement abnormalities and postural instability
If you've been dismissed
- · Falls blamed on 'clumsiness' or poor vision only
- · Symptoms dismissed as 'normal aging' without specialist evaluation
