The basal ganglia contribute to internal timekeeping, and dopaminergic medication has been observed to moderate timing deficits associated with Parkinson’s Disease (PD)…
Parkinson’s disease (PD) leads to reduced spatial and temporal interlimb coordination during gait as well as reduced coordination in the upper or lower limbs. Multi-tasking…
Gait asymmetry is present in several pathological populations, including those with Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and stroke survivors. Previous studies suggest…
Changes to arm swing and gait symmetry are symptomatic of several pathological gaits associated with reduced stability. The purpose of this study was to examine the relative…
Slopes are present in everyday environments and require specific postural strategies for successful navigation; different arm strategies may be used…
Motor variability is a fundamental feature of gait. Altered arm swing and lower limb asymmetry (LLA) may be contributing factors having been shown…
The arm elevation strategy assists in recovering stability during slips in healthy young and elderly individuals. However, in people with…
Fall induced injuries are a leading cause for occupational injuries with the majority originating from challenging same-level walking surfaces.…
Background
Appropriately responding to unexpected perturbations, such as a trip, is critical to sustain balance and avoid falling during…
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of various arm swing on postural stability and recovery responses to an unexpected slip during…
We aimed to determine the effects of levodopa medication on the performance of a repetitive pointing task while standing, and to investigate the…
