Improved motor functioning of people with Parkinson’s disease following dance intervention
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of dance as an additional treatment for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Common pharmacological treatments for PD lessen the…Levodopa-responsive hereditary spastic paraplegia, SPG35, due to FA2H mutations in siblings
Objective: To describe FA2H mutations, one novel, in siblings with SPG35 with symptoms responsive to levodopa. Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a phenotypically and…Virtual rehabilitation: A therapy for parkinsonism?
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation exercises that use virtual reality technology through pre and post application of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS),…The application of mobile health technology to increase physical activity in persons with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the safety, acceptability and preliminary evidence of efficacy of a mobile health (mhealth) mediated home-based exercise program to increase physical activity in…Quantitative assessment of DBS-induced gait disorder in patients with essential tremor
Objective: To investigate changes in gait coordination quantitatively in patients with essential tremor (ET) under chronic bilateral high-frequency stimulation of the nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM).…Influence of treadmill gait training with additional load on motor function, postural instability and history of falls for individuals with Parkinson’s disease: A randomized clinical trial
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of additional load (5% and 10%) with treadmill gait training on the overall motor…Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a telehealth approach to group tango instruction for people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of group adapted tango class for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) taught through telehealth technology. Background: Group…Relationship between sensory augmentation and exercise routine in the improvement in balance and gait in a patient with lithium-induced ataxia
Objective: This case report describes the use of sensory augmentation and an exercise routine to improve balance and gait in a patient with lithium-induced ataxia.…Differential effects of tango, treadmill, and stretching interventions on gait in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare how three exercise interventions differentially impact gait in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) during different gait tasks. Background: Gait impairments are common…Blindfolded balance training in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A sensory-motor strategy to improve the gait
Objective: Recent evidence suggested that the use of treadmill training may improve gait parameters, such as gait speed and stride length. Visual deprivation could engage…
