Is the defective gait automaticity associated to deficiencies in implicit learning in patients with Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To investigate the relation between implicit learning capacity and gait automaticity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Automaticity is the ability to perform…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.…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).…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…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…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)…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…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…
