Evaluation of kinematic parameters of potential clinical use extracted from Microsoft Kinect V2 motor assessments
Objective: To evaluate movement parameters for clinical use extracted from Microsoft Kinect V2 joints. Background: Instrumental motor assessment has been proposed to increase objectivity but…The practicalities of freezing of gait assessment methods
Objective: To highlight the available assessment tools and to provide practical, experience-based recommendations for reliable assessment of freezing of gait (FOG). Background: FOG is a…Gait and anthropometric characteristics of patients with Parkinson’s disease seen in a Nigerian tertiary hospital
Objective: To assess selected gait and anthropometric parameters in patients with Parkinson's disease atteding the Physical therapy clinic of the Obafemi Awolowo Univeersity Teaching Hospitals…Comparative gait analysis of patients with vascular parkinsonism and idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this study we intended to characterize and compare the gait parameters of vascular parkinsonism (VaP) and Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) patients using validated…Levodopa-responsive hereditary spastic paraplegia, SPG35, due to FA2H mutations in siblings
Objective: To describe FA2H mutations, one novel, in siblings with SPG35 with symptoms responsive to levodopa. Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a phenotypically and…Physical therapy, a third wheel in the management of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To reinforce the importance of physical therapy in the management of Parkinson's disease. Background: Unsteadiness, falling, and tendency to fall are frequent symptoms of…Anxiety and freezing of gait: A new perspective for early intervention
Objective: The current study evaluated (i) whether PD+FOG have greater anxiety compared to PD-NF, and (ii) whether anxiety in PD is related to executive dysfunction,…Impairments in trunk muscle function influence head and trunk stability during walking in Parkinson’s disease fallers
Objective: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the relationship between impaired trunk muscle function, segmental coordination and future falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD).…The role of the frontal lobe in complex walking among healthy older adults and patients with Parkinson’s disease: An fNIRS study
Objective: To investigate the role of the frontal lobe during dual tasking and obstacle negotiation, in healthy older adults and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Reliability of the sensory organization test to predict falls in individuals with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the ability of the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) to predict falls in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Individuals with PD are…
