Frailty in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: Associations with Disability and Timed Up and Go Test
Objective: To identify the prevelance of frailty in patients with Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), to describe the relationship between severity of the disease and frailty,…Temporal Gait Parameters in Parkinson’s Disease: A Study Using PDlogger, A Quantitative Gait Measuring Device
Objective: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling symptom in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study aims to investigate the differences in temporal gait…Extended “Timed Up and Go”: A Clinical Indicator of Cognitive State in Parkinson’s Disease?
Objective: To evaluate an extended Timed Up and Go (extended-TUG) as a potential holistic indicator of Parkinson’s disease; hypothesised to correlate closely with disease severity…Combined aerobic and function-based exercise in a group setting improves quality of life and functional mobility in persons with Parkinson disease
Objective: To determine whether the combination of high intensity aerobic followed by function-based exercise, delivered in a group setting, improved quality of life and functional…The AppTUG : a new application for analyzing the Timed Up and Go task in patients with neurological disorders
Objective: To perform an initial validation of a newly developed smartphone-based Timed Up & Go (TUG) application (AppTUG), by comparing its measurements to the stopwatch-measured…Quantifying turning behavior in Parkinson’s disease patients using mobile technology
Objective: To use inertial measurement unit (IMU) data from a mobile device, iPad or iPhone, to quantify PD patients' gait and turning behavior, on and…Analysis of relationships between spinal deformity and walking ability in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To determine the impact on walking ability of spinal deformity and imbalance as distinct from movement disorder in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Despite a…Dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic effects on instrumented timed up and go test in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate an instrumented version of Timed Up and Go Test (iTUG) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), both in L-dopa OFF and ON-state.…Balance training in individual’s with Parkinson’s disease: Therapist-supervised vs. home-based exercise programmes
Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of a home-based balance programme to therapist-supervised programme on gait parameters, dynamic balance, balance confidence and motivation in…Eight weeks of home-based balance training not as effective as therapist-based during dual tasks
Objective: To assess the effect of balance training on dual-tasking gait, and to investigate if a home-based programme is comparable to a therapist-supervised programme. Background:…
