Background: Central neurological gait abnormalities (CNGA) are frequently associated with parkinsonism in older adults. However, the neuropathological substrates and the clinical impact of parkinsonism have been not described in CNGA.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aims to compare the CSF total tau, Aβ1-42, and phosphorylated tau levels in non-Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with CNGA with and without parkinsonism and to study the clinical impact of parkinsonism on gait and cognition.
Apathy in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: A marker of reversible gait disorders.
Int J Geriatr Psychiatry
May 2018
Objective: Apathy-the most common behavioral disturbance in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH)-is associated with poor gait, but the role of apathy on gait improvement after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tapping has not been studied yet. This study aims to compare gait improvement after CSF tapping in iNPH patients with and without apathy.
Methods: Stride time variability (STV), a marker of higher level of gait control, was measured in 33 iNPH patients (78.
Background And Purpose: This cross-sectional study aims to compare gait changes after the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tap test between normal pressure hydrocephalus patients with and without brain comorbidities (NPH+ and NPH- respectively) and then to identify significant contributors to a poor CSF tap test amongst individuals with NPH+.
Methods: Gait changes (during the single task and the dual task of backward counting) were quantified before and 24 h after the CSF tap test with an optoelectronic system in 52 NPH patients (77.4 ± 6.
Background: Behavioural symptoms and gait disorders are very common in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Objective: To evaluate the association between fear of falling and gait instability at one year in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Methods: Thirty-five multiple sclerosis patients were included.
