Virtual rehabilitation: A therapy for parkinsonism?
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation exercises that use virtual reality technology through pre and post application of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS),…Can treadmill training facilitate the dual-task gait in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: Investigate the effects of a single session of treadmill gait training combined with cognitive tasks on dual-task gait in Parkinson's disease. Background: The loss…Contributions of sensorial feedback to gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the integration of optic flow and proprioception when people with Parkinson's disease (PD), under and without dopaminergic medication effects, and matched-control group…Auditory cues during obstacle crossing increase gait asymmetry in neurologically health individuals but not in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the influence of auditory cue on gait asymmetry in an environment unobstructed and with obstacle in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and…Anosmia predicts development of more severe motor symptoms including freezing of gait and impaired balance at 2 year follow-up in PD
Objective: To investigate the relationship between baseline anosmia and 2-yr interval development of motor impairments in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: More severe olfactory deficits have…Falls and frailty predicate escalating care needs in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Assess the prevalence of falls in Parkinson's disease and evaluate change in care needs and institutionalisation in this cohort over a 5 year follow-up…The association between objectively measured physical activity and health-related-quality of life in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the association between a large number of objectively measured parameters of physical activity in the domestic environment using wearable sensors and Health-Related-Quality…LSVT-BIG© case studies: A snapshot of observations
Objective: This case presentation will outline two clients treated with LSVT –BIG and share some observations of the technique. Background: It is estimated that seven…Twelve-week sensor assessment in Parkinson’s disease: Impact on quality of life
Objective: To evaluate the effects of using wearables over a long time period on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Therapeutic protocol for Parkinson’s patient with freezing based on action observation plus sonification: Preliminary results
Objective: To evaluate the effects of a novel experimental protocol to treat patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP) and freezing of gait (FoG), using functional, and…
