Locomotor Control during Planned and Unplanned Gait Termination in Essential Tremor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gait termination (GT) is a destabilizing transitional task that requires a shift from a dynamic state of motion to a static position [3]. GT can either be in response to unanticipated or anticipated stopping. While deficits in gait and gait initiation have been reported in individuals with essential tremor (ET), there is an absence in information regarding GT in those with ET, making it difficult for clinicians to design interventions to improve the ability to terminate gait quickly and efficiently.

Gait termination control strategies are altered in chronic ankle instability subjects.
UNLABELLED Despite the high incidence of chronic ankle instability (CAI), the underlying neurophysiologic mechanism is unknown. Evidence suggests that both feed-forward and feedback mechanisms may play a role. However, no investigation has examined both control mechanisms during the same movement task in the same cohort of CAI patients. PURPOSE To determine the neuromuscular and biomechanical...
متن کاملThe Influence of Tai Chi Training on Locomotor Ability in Parkinson’s Disease
Postural control during dynamic activities such as initiating gait and locomotion, requires the integration of multiple sensory and motor pathways so that the central nervous system can coordinate the anticipatory/postural and intentional /movement components of the task. Persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) exhibit a marked deficit in maintaining equilibrium during transitions between states ...
متن کاملEffect of anticipation on knee kinematics during a stop-jump task.
Knee stability during a functional assessment of the stop-jump task is a key factor to determine if an athlete is adequately rehabilitated after knee ligamentous injury. This study aimed to investigate knee stability due to the effect of anticipation on landing maneuvers during planned and unplanned stop-jump tasks. Knee kinematics of ten healthy male participants were collected using an optica...
متن کاملGait ataxia in essential tremor is differentially modulated by thalamic stimulation.
Patients with advanced stages of essential tremor frequently exhibit tandem gait ataxia with impaired balance control and imprecise foot placement, resembling patients with a cerebellar deficit. Thalamic deep brain stimulation, a surgical therapy for otherwise intractable cases, has been shown to improve tremor, but its impact on cerebellar-like gait difficulties remains to be elucidated. Eleve...
متن کاملRelationship Between Essential Tremor and Cerebellar Dysfunction According to Age
BACKGROUND The cerebellum and its neural circuitry have been assumed to play a major role in the pathophysiology of essential tremor (ET). In this study, we sought to find associations between ET and cerebellar dysfunction. METHODS We performed tandem gait test in 41 ET patients and 44 age-matched controls. Investigators assessed tandem gait by counting the number of missteps during ten-step ...
