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…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…Subthalamic nucleus activity during virtual reality provoked lower limb freezing in a patient with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: Record subthalamic nucleus activity in a Parkinson's disease patient with gait freezing while they perform a virtual reality walking task during DBS surgery. Background:…Diffusion tensor metrics of thalamic degeneration and postural instability in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of our study was to assess the relationship of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics and motor outcomes, with a specific emphasis on…
