MRI microstructure and morphology enable machine learning-based prediction of freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease.
Freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a debilitating, often treatment-resistant symptom impairing mobility and quality of life. Early identification of high-risk patients may enable targeted intervention, yet few prognostic biomarkers exist. In this thesis, we developed a machine …

Biomechanical and Neural Factors Associated with Gait Dysfunction and Freezing in People with Parkinson Disease
… cure, affecting one million Americans. Half of those with PD experience freezing of gait: FOG), manifested as an inability to complete effective stepping. Gait dysfunction and FOG are associated with falls, severe injury, and reduced quality of life, and are among the most disabling and …

Internet des objets et intelligence artificielle pour une meilleure surveillance médicale
… rapide de l’Internet des objets (IdO) a offert une grande opportunité pour la mise en œuvre de plusieurs applications. Le domaine médical semble avoir un intérêt particulier pour l’exploitation d’IdO, notamment des capteurs portables dans la surveillance continue des patients. L’analyse …

Gait Disorders in Parkinson's disease: pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches
Gait deficits are common and debilitating features of Parkinson s disease (PD). Many pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies have been proposed to improve gait in PD patients. Adequate and timely recognition of balance and gait disorders is important to identify patients at risk of …

The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on dual-task walking in Parkinson's disease
… aging population. It is associated with a loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, which leads to abnormal brain activity and ultimately, a loss of locomotor control. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technology that effectively modulates brain excitability by sending low …

Occulomotor Function and Locomotion in Parkinson's Disease
… experience difficulty turning that can lead to freezing of gait, falls, and an increased risk of fall-related injuries. We hypothesized, based on previous literature, that turning difficulty and freezing during turning may be related to deficits in the ability to switch from one motor pattern to …

Modulation and modeling of anticipatory postural adjustments for gait initiation in persons with Parkinson's disease
… thought to be caused by the degeneration of striatal dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. One of the most devastating symptoms of PD that can decrease mobility and substantially impair quality of life is freezing of gait (FOG). Currently, the treatments for the motor symptoms of …
