Dance may help individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PD) improve motor and non-
motor symptoms that impact quality of life (QOL). The primary aim of this systematic review of …

Parkinson disease causes several changes in gait, such as postural stability, which
consequently induces fall risk factors and loss of quality of life. Alternative forms of treatment …

Current lower-limb prostheses do not provide active assistance in postural control tasks to
maintain the user's balance, particularly in situations of perturbation. In this study, we aimed …

Muscle synergy analysis is increasingly used in domains such as neurosciences, robotics,
rehabilitation or sport sciences to analyze and better understand motor coordination. The …

Balance impairment is a major mechanism behind falling along with environmental hazards.
Under physiological conditions, ageing leads to a progressive decline in balance control per …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is the main non-invasive tool used to record the electrical
activity of muscles during dynamic tasks. In clinical gait analysis, a number of techniques …

In the last years, several studies have been focused on understanding how the central
nervous system controls muscles to perform a specific motor task. Although it still remains an …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after
Alzheimer's disease, and its incidence is predicted to increase worldwide. Striatal dopamine …

Dance-based interventions have been proposed for the management of Parkinson's disease
(PD) symptoms. This review critically appraises and synthesises the research on the effects …

The aim of this study is to quantitatively assess motor control changes in Parkinson's
disease (PD) patients after bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN …
