Reaching and stepping respond differently to medication and cueing in Parkinson’s disease

The basal ganglia contribute to internal timekeeping, and dopaminergic medication has been observed to moderate timing deficits associated with Parkinson’s Disease (PD)…

Interlimb coordination in Parkinson’s Disease is minimally affected by a visuospatial dual task

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…

Sensitivity of discrete symmetry metrics: Implications for metric choice

Gait asymmetry is present in several pathological populations, including those with Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and stroke survivors. Previous studies suggest…

Allen Hill, Julie Nantel

The effects of arm swing amplitude and lower-limb asymmetry on gait stability

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…

Walking on Mild Slopes and Altering Arm Swing Each Induce Specific Strategies in Healthy Young Adults

Slopes are present in everyday environments and require specific postural strategies for successful navigation; different arm strategies may be used…

Mary-Elise MacDonald, Tarique Siragy, Allen Hill, Julie Nantel

Effects of arm swing amplitude and lower limb asymmetry on motor variability patterns during treadmill gait

Motor variability is a fundamental feature of gait. Altered arm swing and lower limb asymmetry (LLA) may be contributing factors having been shown…

Recovery of dynamic stability during slips unaffected by arm swing in people with Parkinson’s Disease

The arm elevation strategy assists in recovering stability during slips in healthy young and elderly individuals. However, in people with…

Active Arm Swing and Asymmetric Walking Leads to Increased Variability in Trunk Kinematics in Young Adults

Fall induced injuries are a leading cause for occupational injuries with the majority originating from challenging same-level walking surfaces.…

The effect of various arm and walking conditions on postural dynamic stability when recovering from a trip perturbation

Appropriately responding to unexpected perturbations, such as a trip, is critical to sustain balance and avoid falling during…

Effect of arm motion on postural stability when recovering from a slip perturbation

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…

Medication and trial duration influence postural and pointing parameters during a standing repetitive pointing task in individuals with Parkinson’s disease

We aimed to determine the effects of levodopa medication on the performance of a repetitive pointing task while standing, and to investigate the…
