Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Reliability, Validity, and Responsiveness of the Mini-BESTest and Berg Balance Scale in Patients With Balance Disorders
Marco Godi,Franco Franchignoni,Marco Caligari,Andrea Giordano,Anna Maria Turcato,Antonio Nardone +5 more
TL;DR: The Mini-BESTest appears to have a lower ceiling effect, slightly higher reliability levels, and greater accuracy in classifying individual patients who show significant improvement in balance function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Personalized Multi-Channel FES Controller Based on Muscle Synergies to Support Gait Rehabilitation after Stroke
Simona Ferrante,Noelia Chia Bejarano,Emilia Ambrosini,Antonio Nardone,Anna Maria Turcato,Marco Monticone,Giancarlo Ferrigno,Alessandra Pedrocchi +7 more
TL;DR: An attempt to apply the novel theories of neuroscience research in stroke rehabilitation has provided promising results, and deserves to be further investigated in a larger clinical study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Test-retest reliability of an insole plantar pressure system to assess gait along linear and curved trajectories
TL;DR: High reliability of insole dynamic variables (PF, PP, CA) is obtained with 50 steps using the Pedar-X system, and the negligible differences in ICC between LIN and curved trajectory allow use of this device for gait assessment along mixed trajectories in both clinical and research setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Afferent control of walking: Are there distinct deficits associated to loss of fibres of different diameter?
TL;DR: Changes in both body sway and stance phase of gait were larger in DNP than CMT1A, indicating more impaired static and dynamic control of balance when neuropathy affects the small in addition to the large afferent fibres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal gait pattern emerges during curved trajectories in high-functioning Parkinsonian patients walking in line at normal speed
Anna Maria Turcato,Marco Godi,Marica Giardini,Ilaria Arcolin,Antonio Nardone,Andrea Giordano,Marco Schieppati +6 more
TL;DR: The spatio-temporal gait pattern and variability are significantly modified in well-treated, high-functioning patients with PD walking along circular trajectories, even when they exhibit no changes in speed in straight-line walking.
