| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Gait impairments are well documented in those with PD. Prior studies suggest that gait impairments may be worse and ongoing in those with PD who demonstrate FOG compared to those with PD who do not. PURPOSE: Our aim was to determine the effects of manipulating step length and cadence individually, and together, on gait coordination in those with PD who experience FOG, those with PD who do not experience FOG, healthy older adults, and healthy young adults. METHODS: Eleven participants with PD and FOG, 16 with PD and no FOG, 18 healthy older, and 19 healthy young adults walked across a GAITRite walkway under four conditions: Natural, Fast (+50% of preferred cadence), Small (-50% of preferred step length), and SmallFast (+50% cadence and -50% step length). Coordination (i.e. phase coordination index) was measured for each participant during each condition and analyzed using mixed model repeated measure ANOVAs. RESULTS: FOG was not elicited. Decreasing step length alone or decreasing step length and increasing cadence together affected coordination. Small steps combined with fast cadence resulted in poorer coordination in both groups with PD compared to healthy young adults and in those with PD and FOG compared to healthy older adults. CONCLUSIONS: Coordination deficits can be identified in those with PD by having them walk with small steps combined with fast cadence. Short steps produced at high rate elicit worse coordination than short steps or fast steps alone. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
