Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the impact of small vessel disease (SVD) in predicting Alzheimer's disease outcomes in non-demented individuals.
- About 39% of participants showed no signs of either SVD or amyloid beta (Aβ), while those with Aβ exhibited quicker cognitive decline.
- Though SVD alone slightly indicated increased dementia risk in participants without Aβ, it did not worsen cognitive decline in those with Aβ.
Objective: To assess, in a cross-sectional study, the feasibility and immediate efficacy of laser shoes, a new ambulatory visual cueing device with practical applicability for use in daily life, on freezing of gait (FOG) and gait measures in Parkinson disease (PD).
Methods: We tested 21 patients with PD and FOG, both "off" and "on" medication. In a controlled gait laboratory, we measured the number of FOG episodes and the percent time frozen occurring during a standardized walking protocol that included FOG provoking circumstances.
