Impaired Economy of Gait and Decreased Six-Minute Walk Distance in Parkinson's Disease
Changes in the biomechanics of gait may alter the energy requirements of walking in Parkinson's Disease (PD). This study investigated economy of gait during submaximal treadmill walking in 79 subjects with mild to moderate PD and the relationship between gait economy and 6-minute walk distance...
