Exploring spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters in individuals with Parkinson's disease across different motor phenotypes: A comparative study with and without dopaminergic therapy.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Distinct motor phenotypes in Parkinson's disease (PD) are well-documented, but their spatiotemporal and joint kinematic parameters remain underexplored. This study investigates these parameters and assesses fall risk across motor phenotypes using Three-Dimensional Kinect V2 detectors. RESEARCH QUESTION: How are spatiotemporal and joint kinematic parameters influenced by dopaminergic therapy in...
