Motion analysis of axial rotation and gait stability during turning in people with Parkinson's disease

Highlights • People with Parkinson's disease rotate the axial segments simultaneously during turning. • The disrupted axial coordination suggests an excessive trunk rigidity. • Axial rigidity in turning may slow forward progression and rise lateral instability. • Reduced progression and increas...

Description
Summary:Highlights • People with Parkinson's disease rotate the axial segments simultaneously during turning. • The disrupted axial coordination suggests an excessive trunk rigidity. • Axial rigidity in turning may slow forward progression and rise lateral instability. • Reduced progression and increased instability contribute to turning difficulty.
