Differential effects of tango, treadmill, and stretching interventions on gait in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare how three exercise interventions differentially impact gait in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) during different gait tasks. Background: Gait impairments are common…Blindfolded balance training in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A sensory-motor strategy to improve the gait
Objective: Recent evidence suggested that the use of treadmill training may improve gait parameters, such as gait speed and stride length. Visual deprivation could engage…A novel causal mutation for spinocerebellar ataxia 19/22 (SCA19)
Objective: We report a novel cause for SCA19. We obtained longitudinal exam data on the index case, and data on other family members. We conducted…Effects of exercise intervention on balance and gait performance, and balance confidence in people with Parkinson’s disease – A meta-analysis
Objective: To examine the short- and long-term effects of exercise intervention on enhancing balance, and gait performance, and balance confidence in Parkinson's disease (PD) population,…Botulinum toxin in cerebral palsy children with gait disorder: Different therapy approaches
