Filter by:The study aims to verify whether the use of a specific footwear providing increased plantar feedback (plantar feedback shoes) could improve gait parameters, postural control and functional performances in people with Parkinson's disease. Specifically, the aims are: - To evaluate the acute effect of plantar feedback shoes, by comparing gait, functional and postural performances in three conditions: neutral shoes, barefoot, and plantar feedback shoes; - To evaluate the effect of four weeks of plantar feedback shoes, on gait, functional and postural performances. Participants will undergo a comprehensive neurological examination, with administration of disease-specific scales (UPDRS III part 3, NFOG-q, LEDD, DASS-21). At each assessment the participants will perform an inertial gait analysis, a static posturography, and will undergo functional capacity assessments (TUG, 2MWT, 5-STST, 10- mFW).
The aim of this trial is to quantify the improvement of locomotion and equilibrium induced par tDCS in anode polarity position in post stroke hemiplegic patients.
The investigators are conducting a multi-center randomized prospective trial comparing a standard physical therapy gait and balance program with a gait and balance program that includes the ActiveStep™ treadmill. Subjects will be randomized to either have the ActiveStep™ as part of their therapy or to have their therapy without it. Data will be gathered from session notes, medical records and short interviews with the subjects at baseline and every 3 months over the telephone for the duration of the study.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the BrainPort balance device in improving balance and gait as measured by clinically accepted standardized balance assessments in subjects with peripheral vestibular dysfunction.
