MDS-UPDRS: Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale
The MDS-UPDRS is the gold-standard clinician-administered rating scale for assessing motor and non-motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease.

Used globally in clinical trials, longitudinal cohort studies, and routine neurological practice.
