Sensory and motor aspects of rhythmic entrainment in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate entrainment of MEG-recorded brain oscillations induced by a rhythmic task structure in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD patients do not…The contribution of the subthalamic nucleus in gait initiation of subjects with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated the contribution of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in gait initiation of subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Gait initiation is the transient…Increased cortical control of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To determine structural connectivity between the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) and the supplementary motor area (SMA) in freezers compared to non-freezers. Background: Freezing of…Floor square size predicts step count of 360° turns in PD patients with freezing
Objective: To determine the effect of floor square size on turning behavior in patients with PD. Background: Turning has been repeatedly shown to be the…Multi-modal imaging in Parkinson’s disease patients with freezing of gait
Objective: The objective of the current study is to refine understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) using…Subthalamic nucleus activity during virtual reality provoked lower limb freezing in a patient with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: Record subthalamic nucleus activity in a Parkinson's disease patient with gait freezing while they perform a virtual reality walking task during DBS surgery. Background:…Diffusion tensor metrics of thalamic degeneration and postural instability in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of our study was to assess the relationship of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics and motor outcomes, with a specific emphasis on…Dynamic and static posturographic analysis among fallers and non- faller Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients using Neurocom SMART EquiTest
Objective: The purpose of this investigation is to study both the sensory and motor aspects of voluntary and automatic postural control using static and dynamic…Gait and cognition: Mapping the global and discrete relationships in ageing and neurodegenerative disease
Objective: To explore current evidence of associations and predictors of gait and cognition in older adults and pathology to provide a clear understanding of current…Circadian dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease: Effects on impaired gait initiation and locomotion
Objective: To investigate the impact of circadian rhythm (CR) and time of the day on the magnitude of motor impairments during gait initiation and continuation…
