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…Stabilometry characteristics as objective Parkinson’s disease progression biomarkers
Objective: We aimed to find stabilometry characteristics, which may be used as disease progression and postural instability early development markers. Background: Balance and gait disorders…Cortical role in the freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the neural underpinning of freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD), especially the role of the…Ataxic gait in subjects with essential tremor and thalamic neurostimulation is caused by posteromedial current spread in the (sub)thalamic area
Objective: We aimed to disentangle a putative role of bilateral thalamic DBS in developing gait-ataxia in subjects with ET. Background: In ET patients with DBS,…Spastic gait and mechanical energy recovery in children with hereditary spastic paraplegia
Objective: We aimed to address spastic muscle behavior under dynamic conditions in children with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Background: HSPs are a clinically and genetically…Gait initiation in response to emotion-inducing pictures in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate gait initiation in response to emotion inducing pictures in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Novel pathophysiological models have linked gait disturbances…Beneficial effect of L-theanine against 3-nitropropionic acid induced neurotoxicity in rats: Possible role of neurotransmitters and nitric oxide
Objective: The present study was intended to investigate the effect of L-theanine against 3-NP induced striatal toxicity. Background: L-theanine is unique amino acid which readily…Cognition, vision and visuo-cognition in gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study examined the selective but overlapping roles of cognition and vision in gait in Parkinson's disease (PD). To address this we studied; 1)…Neural mechanisms underlying step initiation failure in patients with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying gait initiation failure in Parkinson's disease patients with Freezing of Gait. Background: Freezing of Gait (FOG) is a…
