The impact of anxiety on gait impairments in Parkinson’s disease: insights from sensor-based gait analysis

Abstract Background Sensor-based gait analysis provides a robust quantitative tool for assessing gait impairments and their associated factors in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Anxiety is observed to interfere with gait clinically, but this has been poorly investigated. Our purpose is to utilize gait ana...
