Measurement of Gait Using Opal APDM and Gait Mat in Parkinsonism

Completed

Conditions studied: Parkinsonism

In brief

The project is a prospective trial comparing Zeno/GAITRite and APDM® in a cohort of persons living with parkinsonian disorders. Ambulatory patients with a parkinsonian syndrome and who are able to provide informed consent will participate in the assessments. Outcome variables include selected gait and balance parameters such as cadence, gait-cycle, stride-length, stride-velocity, turning duration, turning steps, postural sway and anticipatory postural control. These parameters will be measured by the portable inertial sensors developed by APDM® and the Zeno/GaitRite.
