Self-paced treadmills do not allow for valid observation of linear and non-linear gait variability outcomes in patients with Parkinson’s disease
2020-03-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Due to the imposed constant belt speed, motorized treadmills are known to change linear and non-linear gait variability outcomes. This is particularly true of patients with Parkinson’s disease where the treadmill can act as an external pacemaker. Therefore, the use of treadmills is generally not recommended when quantifying gait variability. Self-paced treadmills allow for updating the belt sp...
