Mechanisms underlying gait disturbance in Parkinson's disease: a single photon emission computed tomography study.
Single photon emission computed tomography was used to evaluate regional cerebral blood flow changes during gait on a treadmill in 10 patients with Parkinson's disease and 10 age-matched controls. The subjects were injected with [99mTc]hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxime twice: while walking on the treadmill, which moved at a steady speed, and while lying on a bed with their eyes open. On the tread...
متن کاملStartReact Effects Support Different Pathophysiological Mechanisms Underlying Freezing of Gait and Postural Instability in Parkinson’s Disease
INTRODUCTION The pathophysiology underlying postural instability in Parkinson's disease is poorly understood. The frequent co-existence with freezing of gait raises the possibility of shared pathophysiology. There is evidence that dysfunction of brainstem structures contribute to freezing of gait. Here, we evaluated whether dysfunction of these structures contributes to postural instability as ...
متن کاملGait disturbance in Alzheimer's disease: a clinical study.
Gait disturbance is common in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical gait syndromes of patients with AD using Nutt's classification. Fifty-five patients who satisfied the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for probable AD and 55 controls were recruited from a geriatric and a psychogeriatric unit. Patients with classical musculoskeletal or neurological syndr...
متن کاملA longitudinal study of gait function and characteristics of gait disturbance in individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
Walking in daily life places high demands on the interplay between cognitive and motor functions. A well-functioning dual-tasking ability is thus essential for walking safely. The aims were to study longitudinal changes in gait function during single- and dual-tasking over a period of two years among people with initially mild AD (n=21). Data were collected on three occasions, twelve months apa...
متن کاملNeurosarcoidosis: Granulomatous Disease Presenting with Confusion and Gait Disturbance
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder characterized by noncaseating granulomas that frequently presents with pulmonary infiltrates, hilar lymphadenopathy, and ocular and skin lesions. Sarcoidosis affects about 20 per 100,000 individuals in the US with a higher prevalence among African Americans than in Caucasians. The average age of presentation ranges from 33 to 41 years. Less than 10% of peop...
