Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms, including gait impairments, which significantly affect patient mobility and quality of life. An accurate assessment of the severity of PD is crucial for clinica...
OBJECTIVE: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common gait disorder in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease (PD), closely associated with impaired balance and executive function. This study aimed to investigate specific changes in brain glucose metabol...
Gait and balance disorders are a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and disability in central and peripheral neurologic disorders. Neurologic gait disorders are classically evaluated with a clinical examination and visual pattern recognition. Gai...
INTRODUCTION: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a traumatic head injury that can lead to gait-related disabilities, and exoskeleton training may be beneficial for the recovery of this function in these patients. The objective of this study is to determ...

BACKGROUND: Hemiplegic gait after a stroke can result in a decreased gait speed and asymmetrical gait pattern. Normal gait patterns and speed are typically the ultimate goals of gait function in stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to...
Gait abnormality detection is a growing application in machine learning based health assessment due to its potential in domains from clinical health reviews to at home health monitoring. This latter application is of particular use for older adults, ...
BackgroundFreezing of gait (FoG) is a complex, frequent, and disabling motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). Wearable technology has the potential to improve FoG assessment by providing objective, quantitative, and continuous monitoring.Objectiv...
