Gait Initiation in Parkinson’s Disease: Impact of Dopamine Depletion and Initial Stance Condition

Gait Initiation in Parkinson’s Disease: Impact of Dopamine Depletion and Initial Stance Condition

Postural instability, in particular at gait initiation (GI), and resulting falls are a major determinant of poor quality of life in subjects with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Still, the contribution of the basal ganglia and dopamine on the feedforward postural control associated with this motor task is...
