Abstract:Background
Gait impairment is a key feature in later stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD), which often responds poorly to pharmacological therapies. Neuromodulatory treatment by low-intensity noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) has indicated positive effects on postural instability in PD, which may possibly be conveyed to improvement of dynamic gait dysfunction.
Objective
To investigate the effects of individually tuned nGVS on normal and cognitivel… Show more
