Peer coaching through mHealth targeting physical activity in people with Parkinson disease: feasibility study
(JMIR PUBLICATIONS, INC, 2018-02-01)BACKGROUND: Long-term engagement in exercise and physical activity mitigates the progression of disability and increases quality of life in people with Parkinson disease (PD). Despite this, the vast majority of individuals ... -
Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance—walking subtasks ... -

(2017)OBJECTIVE: Cognitive deficits are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and exacerbate the functional limitations imposed by PD's hallmark motor symptoms, including impairments in walking. Though much research has addressed ... -
Balance differences in people with Parkinson disease with and without freezing of gait
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2015-09-01)BACKGROUND: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a relatively common and remarkably disabling impairment associated with Parkinson disease (PD). Laboratory-based measures indicate that individuals with FOG (PD+FOG) have greater ... -
External validation of a simple clinical tool used to predict falls in people with Parkinson disease
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015-08-01)BACKGROUND: Assessment of fall risk in an individual with Parkinson disease (PD) is a critical yet often time consuming component of patient care. Recently a simple clinical prediction tool based only on fall history in ... -
