Official Title: How to Get Started: Identifying the Critical Ingredients to Improve Gait Initiation in Parkinson Disease
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to understand the treatment approach (i.e., targeting gait or targeting the postural adjustment prior to gait) that is most effective at improving gait initiation dynamics in people with Parkinson disease.Ten adults with idiopathic Parkinson disease who self-report difficulty initiating gait will complete the study.The investigators will be using a randomized crossover design, where the participants will participate in two series of training (i.e., postural training and steady-state…
