Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, debilitating neurodegenerative disease. Gait
disturbances are a frequent cause of disability and impairment for patients with PD. This …

Objective: To understand the differences of step and turn parameters between freezers and
non-freezers during turning and determine the influence of turn angle and turn …

Quick changes of direction during running (cutting) represent a whole body mechanical
challenge, as they require deceleration and translation of the body during ongoing …

Background: Walking is a complex cognitive motor task that is commonly completed while
performing another task such as talking or making decisions. Gait assessments performed …

A child's natural gait pattern may be affected by the gait laboratory environment. Wearable
devices using body-worn sensors have been developed for gait analysis. The purpose of …

New walking patterns can be learned over short timescales (ie, adapted in minutes) using a
split-belt treadmill that controls the speed of each leg independently. This leads to storage of …

Step-by-step variations in step width have been hypothesized to reflect adjustments to swing
foot placement in response to preceding frontal plane trunk kinematics. The present study …

Objectives This study investigated the relation of different previously reported preparatory
strategies and musculo-skeletal loading during fast preplanned 90° cutting maneuvers (CM) …

Human lateral preferences, such as handedness and footedness, have interested
researchers for decades due to their pronounced asymmetries at the population level. While …

Circling increases the expression of distal forelimb lameness in the horse, depending on
rein, diameter and surface properties of the circle. However, there is limited information …
