Gait coordination in Parkinson disease: effects of step length and cadence manipulations.
BACKGROUND Gait impairments are well documented in those with PD. Prior studies suggest that gait impairments may be worse and ongoing in those with PD who demonstrate FOG compared to those with PD who do not. PURPOSE Our aim was to determine the effects of manipulating step length and cadence individually, and together, on gait coordination in those with PD who experience FOG, those with PD ...
متن کاملGait in Huntington’s disease and the stride length-cadence relationship
BACKGROUND The progressive deterioration of gait in Huntington's disease (HD) leads to functional decline and loss of function. To understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for the gait changes in HD, we examined the automatic control of gait by measuring the relationship between stride length and cadence. The relationship is strongly linked in healthy adults during automatic gait but di...
متن کاملUpper Extremity Freezing and Dyscoordination in Parkinson's Disease: Effects of Amplitude and Cadence Manipulations
Purpose. Motor freezing, the inability to produce effective movement, is associated with decreasing amplitude, hastening of movement, and poor coordination. We investigated how manipulations of movement amplitude and cadence affect upper extremity (UE) coordination as measured by the phase coordination index (PCI)-only previously measured in gait-and freezing of the upper extremity (FO-UE) in p...
متن کاملStep Length Variability during Gait Initiation in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with several changes in motor tasks including postural control and gait. As such, patients with PD are more likely to experience a fall than their aged-matched peers. In fact, 80 percent of patients with PD fall during the course of their disease with 30 percent falling weekly. Recent research suggests gait variability may be an important predictor of both...
متن کاملInterlimb Coordination During Step-to-Step Transition and Gait Performance.
Most energy spent in walking is due to step-to-step transitions. During this phase, the interlimb coordination assumes a crucial role to meet the demands of postural and movement control. The authors review studies that have been carried out regarding the interlimb coordination during gait, as well as the basic biomechanical and neurophysiological principles of interlimb coordination. The knowl...
