The interactive walkway: Towards assessing gait-environment interactions in a clinical setting
Objective: To determine the usability of the Interactive Walkway (IWW) for the assessment of walking adaptability. Background: A prerequisite for safe walking is one's ability…A step forward to the future: UPDRS kinematic measures for telemedicine
Objective: We set up an experimental instrumentation to quantify selected items of UPDRS by a Kinect technology and body sensory-network (BSN), destinated to an easy…A rapid chemical-genetic screen utilising impaired movement phenotypes in caenorhabditis elegans
Objective: Development of a fast and unbiased screening method to identify C. elegans mutants with movement disabilities and drugs to improve impaired locomotion. Background: Identifying…Effects of videogame step training on gait adaptability in people with Parkinson´s disease – A randomized controlled trial
Objective: To evaluate the effect of home-based interactive videogame step training on gait adaptability performance in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The ability to…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…
