Parkinsonian gait

A slow, shuffling, short-stepped gait, which is typical of pyramidal tract disease, prototypically occurring in Parkinson’s disease.

An Arduino MCU board, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor and a Bluetooth module were used to send and process signals to get a parameter that indicates the start of a FOG episode on healthy subjects that simulated Parkinsonian gait. After that, the results are exhibiting the coupling of the entire device, the signals obtained with it during the experiment, and the freeze index.

For instance, the effectiveness of specific forms of visual cueing [24], to reduce FOG and improve Parkinsonian gait, may be readily examined in a VR environment.

It is also a common clinical experience that mixed hydrocephalic and parkinsonian gait features coexist, with various degrees of levodopa responsiveness.

The characteristic Parkinsonian gait pattern has several hypokinetic features including reduced stride length, velocity and step height resulting in short shuffling steps, associated with a flexed posture and poor arm swing (Peppe, Chiavalon, Pasqualetti, Crovato, & Caltagirone, 2007).

We sought to examine the effect of a wearable, closed-loop, visual-auditory cueing system on parkinsonian gait in the "off" state, when the magnitude of gait impairment is expected to be largest.

Results: At enrollment, 85 subjects had neurologic gait abnormalities of the following types: unsteady gait (in 31 subjects), frontal gait (in 12 subjects), hemiparetic gait (in 11 subjects), neuropathic gait (in 10 subjects), parkinsonian gait (in eight subjects), and spastic gait (in two subjects).
