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:…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.…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…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…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…
