Abstract:Introduction
Previous studies have shown that anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are altered in people with Parkinson’s disease but its meaning for locomotion is less understood. This study aims to investigate the association between APAs and gait initiation, gait and freezing of gait and how a dynamic postural control challenging training may induce changes in these features.
Methods
Gait initiation was quantified using wearable sensors and subsequent straight walking was assessed via marker-based mot… Show more
