Extraction of the pull force from inertial sensors during the pull test for Parkinson's disease: A reliability study.

Objective: To examine the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the pull test in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using the extracted pull force.

Methods: In this inter- and intra-rater reliability study, two raters performed a pull test on 30 patients with PD. The pull force was quantified using inertial sensors attached to the rater's right hand and the patient's lower trunk.

[An examination of the fall risk classification model in short-term intensive inpatient rehabilitation for elderly patients with Parkinson's disease].

Aim: To examine the predictive model that classifies the fluctuation in fall risk two weeks after an evaluation at the beginning of short-term intensive inpatient rehabilitation for elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: Of the patients with PD ≥65 years old who underwent intensive rehabilitation, 17 patients (mean age: 76.5±6.
