Biomechanical analysis of sit to walk movement in Parkinson's patients

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book to assess the performance of PD patients during the STW motor task. In general, it was concluded that a continuum of STW performance whereby the healthy elderly people performed the task more efficiently than PD patients. Additionally, the PD patients were unable to merge the two tasks into one continuous movement and they appeared to complete the STS before performing gi. This was evident by the long delay between seat off and the initiation of gait. While the elderly people merged the two tasks (STS & gi) into one continuous movement. These findings have potential implications in understanding the risk of falls in PD patients during dynamic transitional movements and can provide a structure for studying the STW motor task. Clinicians can utilize this information to develop rehabilitation programs designed to address the specific deficiencies noted in this study. Physical interventions designed to improve physical and motor functioning such as resistance training to improve power, strength and stability.
