APA and PAS Training for Gait Initiation in Parkinson's Disease
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Our research focused on understanding the interplay between brain excitability and balance function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), alongside evaluating effective physical therapy methods. It highlights the prevalence of non-motor disorders and cognitive impairments among PD patients, including balance and postural issues, cognitive function decline, and gait instability. Additionally, it notes that PD patients exhibit abnormal electrophysiological responses, indicating altered central excitability.
Eligibility Criteria
Health subjects: Exclusion Criteria: * Musculoskeletal injuries on legs. * Osteoporosis. PD subjects: Inclusion Criteria: \- Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson disease. Exclusion Criteria: * Musculoskeletal injuries on legs * Osteoporosis. * Any peripheral or central nervous system injury or disease patients.
