“…In this study, we however did not observe a positive effect of visual cues on LGL, SSL, and lateral symmetry. Additionally, in this study, the AP position of COP of PD patients showed a larger value, which means more deviations of COP in the direction of progression (46), suggesting that the PD patients were in unstable conditions. The slightly increased LGL and SSL, and reduced lateral symmetry of the COP at both sides, which exhibited no significant differences, were important gait characteristics for PD patients with visual cues.…”

The present study examined the effects of wearable visual cues, provided by a wearable laser device, on the gait pattern and stability in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). In total, 18 patients with a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic PD (Hoehn and Yahr stage II-III) and 18 healthy controls were included. The main outcome measures included spatiotemporal parameters, sagittal plane kinematic parameters of joints in lower limbs, and dynamic center of pressure (COP) parameters. Significant intra-group improvement in gait parameters was observed in PD patients. Compared with that at baseline, the gait pattern improved in PD patients under the cued condition, with longer stride length and higher toe clearance, as well as shortening of double stance phase, especially the stride length, double stance phase and toe clearance were not significantly different between cued condition and healthy control groups. In kinematics, the ankle peak dorsiflexion in swing phase and the hip range of motion (ROM) in gait cycle was significantly improved in PD patients with visual cues and close to healthy controls. Decreased anteroposterior (AP) position of COP improved gait stability in patients with PD under the cued condition. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the AP position has a negative correlation with ankle peak dorsiflexion in swing phase. Pearson’s correlation coefficients showed that the minimum toe clearance (Mini TC) was positively correlated with the ankle peak dorsiflexion in swing phase. The immediate effect of wearable visual cues improved the gait pattern and stability in PD patients, suggesting that it may be effective when applied as an alternative technique in rehabilitation training for PD patients.
