Spastic gait and mechanical energy recovery in children with hereditary spastic paraplegia
Objective: We aimed to address spastic muscle behavior under dynamic conditions in children with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Background: HSPs are a clinically and genetically…Gait initiation in response to emotion-inducing pictures in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate gait initiation in response to emotion inducing pictures in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Novel pathophysiological models have linked gait disturbances…Beneficial effect of L-theanine against 3-nitropropionic acid induced neurotoxicity in rats: Possible role of neurotransmitters and nitric oxide
Objective: The present study was intended to investigate the effect of L-theanine against 3-NP induced striatal toxicity. Background: L-theanine is unique amino acid which readily…Cognition, vision and visuo-cognition in gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study examined the selective but overlapping roles of cognition and vision in gait in Parkinson's disease (PD). To address this we studied; 1)…Neural mechanisms underlying step initiation failure in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying gait initiation failure in Parkinson's disease patients with Freezing of Gait. Background: Freezing of Gait (FOG) is a…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,…Freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease: A stopping deficit?
Objective: We evaluated the role of inhibition in freezing of gait, and related performance on a behavioral stopping task to the structural integrity of the…Integrity of the superior longitudinal fascicle and its relationship with anticipatory postural adjustments in people with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To assess the integrity of the Superior Longitudinal Fascicle (SLF) and its relationship with the Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs) of step initiation in people…Combined effects of visual and auditory cues on gait initiation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the combined effects of visual and auditory cues on gait initiation and to investigate the correlation between the clinical rates of gait…Identifying freezing of gait and falls in Parkinson’s disease patients using a body-worn sensor
Objective: The aim of the present study is to objectively detect and quantify freezing of gait (FOG) and falls in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients during…
