TL;DR: Low outcome expectation from exercise, lack of time to exercise, and fear of falling appear to be important perceived barriers to engaging in exercise in people who have PD, are ambulatory, and dwell in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intramuscular Adipose Tissue, Sarcopenia, and Mobility Function in Older Individuals
TL;DR: Thigh IMAT, a newly identified muscle impairment appears to be a potent muscle variable related to the ability of older adults to move about in their community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic Gait Analysis Using a Low-Cost Insole
TL;DR: This paper describes the design and fabrication of the insole and its evaluation in six control subjects and four hemiplegic stroke subjects, and provides a means of cost-effective and efficient healthcare delivery of mobile gait analysis that can be used anywhere from large clinics to an individual's home.

Factors Associated With Exercise Behavior in People With Parkinson Disease
Terry D. Ellis,James T. Cavanaugh,Gammon M. Earhart,Matthew P. Ford,K. Bo Foreman,Lisa Fredman,Jennifer K. Boudreau,Leland E. Dibble +7 more
TL;DR: Self-efficacy, rather than disability, appears to be strongly associated with whether ambulatory, community-dwelling people with PD exercise regularly, and physical therapists should include strategies to increase exercise self- efficacy when designing patient intervention programs for patients with PD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 9-hole PEG test of upper extremity function: average values, test-retest reliability, and factors contributing to performance in people with Parkinson disease.
TL;DR: The 9HPT appears to be a clinically useful measure for assessing upper extremity function in individuals with PD and has advantages over previously used methods including standardization, known normative values for healthy controls, commercial availability, transportability, and ease of administration.
