The difficulty in gait initiation happens often in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The lack of anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) occurring before the first step are the main causes of difficulties in this population, which is related to the common signs and symptoms in PD, such as akinesia and postural instability. The increase in motor complexity and cognitive and sensory…
The death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra leads to the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Gait changes are commom in this population, such as changing in the variability on spatial and temporal parameters of gait. The variability of these parameters could be correlated with a higher rate of falls in this population and could identify potential fallers. The obj…
Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) and reactive postural control (RPC) are important for postural control when gait is initiated. Both are essential for preventing falls, either by enhancing or by recovering stability. While APAs occur in feedforward manner prior to the main motor action, RPC occurs after a perturbation of stability, requiring online adjustments. The aim of the pres…
