Analysis of temporal gait features extracted from accelerometer-based signals during ambulatory walking in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To perform a proof-of-concept study showing the utility of versatile algorithms aimed at objectively quantifying the duration of refined gait features during ambulatory walking…Altered brain activation in complex walking conditions in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate (1) the differences in neural activation during complex walking that possesses different cognitive demands and (2) the influence of neurodegenerative disease as…Freezing of gait is associated with more fear of falling avoidance behavior and less participation in daily physical activity
Objective: To compare those with and without freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: The presence of FOG in PD has been shown…A cross-sectional study of sensor-based gait analysis in atypical Parkinsonian disorders
Objective: Primary objective was to identify quantitative markers of gait impairment in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD), atypical Parkinsonian disorders (APD) and healthy controls…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.…Interrelation between gait impairment with cognitive disturbances in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study interrelation of neuropsychological disturbances with severe gait impairment and postural stability in Parkinson's disease. Background: Clinical features of gait impairment and postural…Electromyographic and kinematic patterns in runner’s dystonia
Objective: To review electromyographic and kinematic patterns in patients with runner's dystonia (RD). Background: RD is a task-specific focal limb dystonia, preferentially involving the lower…Application and correlates of the PSP quality of life scale
Objective: To apply the PSP Quality of Life scale (PSP-QoL) within a cross-sectional PSP population and correlate these scores with those of the PSP rating…Evaluation of kinematic parameters of potential clinical use extracted from Microsoft Kinect V2 motor assessments
Objective: To evaluate movement parameters for clinical use extracted from Microsoft Kinect V2 joints. Background: Instrumental motor assessment has been proposed to increase objectivity but…The practicalities of freezing of gait assessment methods
Objective: To highlight the available assessment tools and to provide practical, experience-based recommendations for reliable assessment of freezing of gait (FOG). Background: FOG is a…
