The role of the frontal lobe in complex walking among healthy older adults and patients with Parkinson’s disease: An fNIRS study
Objective: To investigate the role of the frontal lobe during dual tasking and obstacle negotiation, in healthy older adults and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Reliability of the sensory organization test to predict falls in individuals with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the ability of the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) to predict falls in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Individuals with PD are…A case of PD with non -motor symptoms onset
Objective: PD is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system mainly affecting the motor system. In addition to motor symptoms, PD can impair other…Quantifying daily living transitions in patients with Parkinson’s disease using a body-fixed sensor
Objective: To test whether measures of everyday sit-to-walk and walk-to-sit differ between patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy older adults (HOA) and between mild…Recruitment of single subthalamic neurons for kinematic control of hand and feet movements employs different strategies
Objective: To understand single unit recruitment strategies for upper and lower extremity movements in the human subthalamic nucleus (STN), which is the main target for…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…DBS related on-state freezing of gait – A case series
Objective: To present the first ever case series of on-state freezing of gait (FOG) after DBS surgery using dose-cycle gait evaluation. Background: FOG is categorized…Effects of antidepressants on gait parameters in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare GAITRite parameters between PD patients on antidepressants with patients who were not on any psychotropic. Background: PD patients have an increased risk…Bi-hemispheric phase synchronization in patients with Parkinson’s disease during stance, gait and upper limb motor tasks
Objective: To begin exploring if and how bi-hemispheric cortical phase synchronization (PS), as reflected by electroencephalography (EEG), during free overground walking, is associated with gait…Cerebellar GABA-A receptor activity is inversely correlated with gait speed in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between regional cerebral expression of benzodiazepine receptors and gait speed in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Flumazenil is a short-acting intravenously…
