Figure 1
Scatterplot of Effect of Sensory Trick vs. Duration of CD. A higher value for “Effect of Sensory Trick” corresponds to a less effective trick. Bubble sizes reflect the number of patients at a given point – the largest bubble including seven patients and the smallest bubble one patient. The shaded region represents the 95% confidence interval.

(A) Distribution of the TWSTRS-2 Motor Item Rating the “Effect of Sensory Tricks” (B) Distribution of the CDIP-58 Sleep Subscale. (A) Physicians rated the degree of improvement when a sensory trick is used on a scale of 0–4, with 0 indicating complete improvement of posture and 4 indicating no improvement. (B) The total sleep subscale score is calculated by the sum of the four individual items: having trouble falling asleep, having restless sleep, waking up, and not getting the amount of sleep needed. Each item is scaled 1–5 based on the frequency with which it occurs as a result of CD, 1 indicating none of the time and 5 indicating all of the time.
