Journal ArticleDOI
Addition of a non-immersive virtual reality component to treadmill training to reduce fall risk in older adults (V-TIME): a randomised controlled trial
Anat Mirelman,Anat Mirelman,Lynn Rochester,Inbal Maidan,Silvia Del Din,Lisa Alcock,Freek Nieuwhof,Marcel G. M. Olde Rikkert,Bastiaan R. Bloem,Elisa Pelosin,Laura Avanzino,Giovanni Abbruzzese,Kimberly Dockx,Esther M.J. Bekkers,Nir Giladi,Nir Giladi,Alice Nieuwboer,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff +18 more
TL;DR: In a diverse group of older adults at high risk for falls, treadmill training plus VR led to reduced fall rates compared with treadmill training alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rehabilitation for Parkinson's disease: Current outlook and future challenges
TL;DR: The rehabilitative program for PD should be "goal-based" (targeted to practicing and learning specific activities in the core areas), but a number of practice variables need to be identified and the program should tailored to the individual patients' characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of step-by-step spatio-temporal parameters of normal and impaired gait using shank-mounted magneto-inertial sensors: application to elderly, hemiparetic, parkinsonian and choreic gait
Diana Trojaniello,Andrea Cereatti,Elisa Pelosin,Laura Avanzino,Anat Mirelman,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Ugo Della Croce +7 more
TL;DR: The proposed spatio-temporal parameters estimates showed smaller errors than those reported in previous studies and a similar level of precision and accuracy for both healthy and pathologic gait patterns, suggesting that the proposed method is suitable for routine clinical use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Action observation improves freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's disease.
TL;DR: The results suggest that action observation has a positive additional effect on recovery of walking ability in PD patients with FOG, and the combination of observation and imitation to supplement a physical training program may result in an innovative rehabilitative approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is every-day walking in older adults more analogous to dual-task walking or to usual walking? Elucidating the gaps between gait performance in the lab and during 24/7 monitoring.
Inbar Hillel,Eran Gazit,Alice Nieuwboer,Laura Avanzino,Lynn Rochester,Lynn Rochester,Andrea Cereatti,Ugo Della Croce,Marcel G. M. Olde Rikkert,Bastiaan R. Bloem,Elisa Pelosin,Silvia Del Din,Pieter Ginis,Nir Giladi,Nir Giladi,Anat Mirelman,Anat Mirelman,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff +17 more
TL;DR: Gait values measured during relatively long (30-s) daily-living walking bouts are more similar to the corresponding values obtained in the lab during dual-task walking, as compared to usual walking.
