Gait disturbance is a key component of motor disability in subjects with Parkinson disease (PD). Along with disease progression, gait velocity – and related spatio-temporal parameters – dramatically reduces as well as limb range-of-motions (ROM). In this study, we investigated changes in centre of mass vertical displacement (CoMVD) and its relationship with lower limb ROM in PD patients compared to healthy subjects (HC) walking at comparable velocities.

Abstract

Gait disturbance is a key component of motor disability in subjects with Parkinson disease (PD). Along with disease progression, gait velocity – and related spatio-temporal parameters – dramatically reduces as well as limb range-of-motions (ROM). In this study, we investigated changes in centre of mass vertical displacement (CoMVD) and its relationship with lower limb ROM in PD patients compared to healthy subjects (HC) walking at comparable velocities.
