Influence of treadmill gait training with additional load on motor function, postural instability and history of falls for individuals with Parkinson’s disease: A randomized clinical trial
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of additional load (5% and 10%) with treadmill gait training on the overall motor…Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a telehealth approach to group tango instruction for people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of group adapted tango class for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) taught through telehealth technology. Background: Group…Quantifying turning behavior in Parkinson’s disease patients using mobile technology
Objective: To use inertial measurement unit (IMU) data from a mobile device, iPad or iPhone, to quantify PD patients' gait and turning behavior, on and…Mirror movements in Moebius syndrome: Mirroring beyond movements
Objective: To understand pathophysiology of mirror movements (MM) in Moebius syndrome patients by performing comprehensive neurophysiologic studies in two patients. Background: MM are involuntary movements…Imitation of hand movements in Parkinson’s disease: A comparison with visual cueing
Objective: To explore imitation and its therapeutic potential in Parkinson's disease (PD) using kinematic analysis of hand movements. Background: Action observation and imitation have been…Deep brain stimulation of the locomotor mesencephalic region in rats with lesioned sensorimotor cortex: A model of functional motor recovery after stroke
Objective: To evaluate whether electrical stimulation of the locomotor mesencephalic region (LMR) in rats with lesioned sensorimotor cortex improves (1) locomotion assessed by the CatWalk…Factors associated with falling in early, treated Parkinson’s disease: The NET-PD LS1 cohort
Objective: To examine baseline characteristics associated with falling in PD using the NET-PD LS-1 dataset. Background: Recognizing the factors associated with falling in Parkinson's disease…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…Spatial accuracy and reliability of the Microsoft Kinect V2 in the assessment of joint movement in comparison to marker-based motion capture (Vicon)
Objective: Evaluation of Microsoft Kinect V2 against standard motion capture. Background: Augmentation of clinical Motor testing with instrumental assessment has been proposed to increase objectivity.…The improvement of a tardive diskinesia movements by inline skating
Objective: To describe a young patient with generalized dyskinesia induced by neuroleptic drugs and dramatic improvement of symptoms while skating. Background: Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is…
