Journal ArticleDOI
Postural instability in Parkinson's disease: a comparison with and without a concurrent task
TL;DR: The purpose of this investigation was to divert attention to a secondary task so the full extent of balance disturbance could be revealed without compensation by attentional mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on the kinetic, kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters of gait in Parkinson's disease
TL;DR: A 71 year old hypokinetic woman with PD is illustrated who demonstrated normalisation of key kinematic and spatiotemporal variables of gait when provided with visual cues at peak-dose of the medication cycle, despite persistent abnormalities in gait kinetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Health-related quality of life in PD is associated with self-care limitations, mobility limitations, self-reported history of falls and disease duration, and understanding how these factors are inter-related may assist clinicians focus their assessments and develop strategies that aim to minimize the negative functional and social sequelae of this debilitating disease.
Journal Article
Gait disorders and gait rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility, safety, and compliance in a randomized controlled trial of physical therapy for Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: All three programs proved feasible, suggesting they may be safely implemented for people with PD in community-based clinical practice, and time to first fall during the intervention phase did not differ across groups, and adverse effects were minimal.
