ABSTRACT APDM's Mobility Lab system provides portable, validated, reliable, objective
measures of balance and gait that are sensitive to Parkinson's disease (PD). In this review …

The basal ganglia are essential for executing motor actions. How the basal ganglia engage
spinal motor networks has remained elusive. Medullary Chx10 gigantocellular (Gi) neurons …

Objective: To understand the differences of step and turn parameters between freezers and
non-freezers during turning and determine the influence of turn angle and turn …

Background The ability to turn while walking is essential for daily living activities. Turning is
slower and more steps are required to complete a turn in people with Parkinson's disease …

Difficulty in turning while walking is common among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
This difficulty often leads to significant disability, falls, and loss of function; moreover, turning …

Objective To investigate the effects of ballroom and Latin American dancing classes on
turning in people with Parkinson's. Design This study employed a randomised, controlled …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder resulting in a range of
mobility deficits affecting gait, balance and turning. In this paper, we present:(i) the …

Background: Turning in place is particularly bothersome for patients with Parkinson's
disease (PD) experiencing freezing of gait (FOG). Cues designed to enforce goal-directed …

Background The laterality of motor symptoms is considered a key feature of Parkinson's
disease (PD). Here, we investigated whether gait and turning asymmetry coincided with …

Objective The aim of this study was to establish the test–retest reliability of metrics obtained
from wearable inertial sensors that reflect turning performance during tasks designed to …
