The Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS) global score is used to measure Akathisia (a type of movement disorders). BARS is the item 4 score from the BARS assessment. The scale is from a range 0-5 (normal to worse). Change from baseline in BARS global score increase means worse. Improved defined as those with a \<= -1 change in BARS global score. Worsened defined as those with a \>= 1 change in BARS global score.

The Simpson Angus Scale (SAS)is used to assess Parkinsonian symptoms (a type of movement disorders). The score was calculated as the sum of the 10 individual item scores. Total Score ranges from 0-40 (normal to worse). Individual item scale range from 0 to 4 (normal to worse). Improved define as those with a \<= -1 change in SAS total score. Worsened defined as those with a \>=1 change in SAS total score.

Tanner stage is considered going up when the organs grow bigger.
