Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the test-retest reliability of the 4-Meter Walk Test (4-MWT), the minimum detectable change (MDC) in the 4-MWT, and the concurrent and known-group validity of the 4-MWT in patients with Parkinson Disease (PwPD).

Design: A total of 42 PwPD and 33 healthy people participated in this study. Reliability was quantified using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and the MDC.

Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a rare neurological condition characterized by abnormal calcification commonly in basal ganglia and multiple other brain regions, leading to neuropsychiatric, cognitive, and motor symptoms. SLC20A2, one of the known causative genes for PFBC, contains the highest number of variants directly associated with the disease. Here, we established an iPSC line (METUi002-A) from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a clinically diagnosed PFBC patient carrying a SLC20A2 mutation (c.

Background: People with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) lose the ability in backward walking which is an important part of mobility in daily life. The 3-m backward walk test (3MBWT) evaluates backward walking; however, its reliability and validity have not been examined in PwPD yet.

Aims: To examine (1) the test-retest reliability of the 3MBWT in PwPD; (2) the minimum detectable change in the 3MBWT times; (3) the concurrent and known-groups validity of the 3MBWT; and (4) the optimum cutoff time which best discriminates fallers from non-fallers with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Introduction: Optimal trunk control relies on adequate musculoskeletal, motor, and somatosensory systems that are often affected in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare trunk control between people with AD and healthy older adults, and investigate the relationship between trunk control and balance, gait, functional mobility, and fear of falling in people with AD.

Methods: The study was completed with 35 people with AD and 33 healthy older adults with matching age and gender.
