Multi-modal imaging in Parkinson’s disease patients with freezing of gait
Objective: The objective of the current study is to refine understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) using…Floor square size predicts step count of 360° turns in PD patients with freezing
Objective: To determine the effect of floor square size on turning behavior in patients with PD. Background: Turning has been repeatedly shown to be the…Sensory and motor aspects of rhythmic entrainment in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate entrainment of MEG-recorded brain oscillations induced by a rhythmic task structure in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD patients do not…The contribution of the subthalamic nucleus in gait initiation of subjects with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated the contribution of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in gait initiation of subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Gait initiation is the transient…Increased cortical control of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To determine structural connectivity between the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) and the supplementary motor area (SMA) in freezers compared to non-freezers. Background: Freezing of…Is the assessment of 5 meters of gait with body-worn-sensors enough to recognize Parkinsonian gait?
Objective: To classify step-by-step gait patterns of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and older adults from the assessment of short episodes of gait with body-worn-sensors (BFS)…Freezing of gait (FOG) in PD: Is electroencephalography (EEG) a gateway to elucidating the pathophysiology?
Objective: To assess EEG changes in PD patients during episodes of FOG. Background: FOG is a paroxysmal phenomenon, a brief episodic marked reduction in forward…Bi-hemispheric phase synchronization in patients with Parkinson’s disease during stance, gait and upper limb motor tasks
Objective: To begin exploring if and how bi-hemispheric cortical phase synchronization (PS), as reflected by electroencephalography (EEG), during free overground walking, is associated with gait…Relationship between freezing and pedunculopontine nucleus’ size in Parkinson’s disease: Semi quantitative analysis based on MRI with modified FGATIR sequence
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the possible relation between pedunculopontine nucleus' size (PPN) and occurrence of freezing in Parkinson's disease (PD).…Gait impairment is more than a motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the relationship of gait impairment of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with different clinical factors including motor function, non-motor function and cognitive function.…
