Impaired color discrimination selectively associates with postural instability and gait difficulties in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between impairments of the cardinal motor impairments and color discrimination deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Previous studies have shown…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…Analysis of relationships between spinal deformity and walking ability in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To determine the impact on walking ability of spinal deformity and imbalance as distinct from movement disorder in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Despite a…Dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic effects on instrumented timed up and go test in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate an instrumented version of Timed Up and Go Test (iTUG) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), both in L-dopa OFF and ON-state.…Balance training in individual’s with Parkinson’s disease: Therapist-supervised vs. home-based exercise programmes
Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of a home-based balance programme to therapist-supervised programme on gait parameters, dynamic balance, balance confidence and motivation in…Eight weeks of home-based balance training not as effective as therapist-based during dual tasks
Objective: To assess the effect of balance training on dual-tasking gait, and to investigate if a home-based programme is comparable to a therapist-supervised programme. Background:…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…Balance and gait disturbances in Parkinson’s disease patients with falls and freezing of gait
Objective: To assess balance and gait disturbances in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with falls and freezing of gait (FOG). Background: Falls and freezing of gait…
