متن کاملObstacle crossing among people with Parkinson disease is influenced by concurrent music.
Multitasking situations exacerbate gait impairments and increase the risk of falling among people with Parkinson disease (PD). This study compared obstacle negotiation among 10 subjects with PD and 10 nonparkinsonian control (CTRL) subjects in two test conditions differentiated by the presence of music played through a personal music player. Subjects walked the length of a 10 m walkway at a sel...
متن کاملFactors Influencing Obstacle Crossing Performance in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
BACKGROUND Tripping over obstacles is the major cause of falls in community-dwelling patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Understanding the factors associated with the obstacle crossing behavior may help to develop possible training programs for crossing performance. This study aimed to identify the relationships and important factors determining obstacle crossing performance in patients wit...
متن کاملThe variability of the steps preceding obstacle avoidance (approach phase) is dependent on the height of the obstacle in people with Parkinson's disease
Gait variability may serve as a sensitive and clinically relevant parameter to quantify adjustments in walking and the changes with aging and neurological disease. Variability of steps preceding obstacle avoidance (approach phase) are important for efficiency in the task, especially in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, variability of gait during the approach phase to obstacle avoid...
متن کاملObstacle Crossing: Different Strategies in People with Vision, Blindfolded or Blind
During obstacle crossing, a minimal vertical distance between foot and obstacle (toe clearance) has to be preserved to avoid tripping. This study analyzed the control of an obstacle crossing task as a reaching motion with the foot when visual information was unavailable to blind and sighted participants. A major difference with upper limb reaching is that the lower limb task has to be integrate...
