Effect of gait speed on gait rhythmicity in Parkinson's disease: variability of stride time and swing time respond differently

Effect of gait speed on gait rhythmicity in Parkinson's disease: variability of stride time and swing time respond differently

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The ability to maintain a steady gait rhythm is impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). This aspect of locomotor dyscontrol, which likely reflects impaired automaticity in PD, can be quantified by measuring the strid...
