Investigating Therapies for Freezing of Gait

Parkinson DiseaseGait Disorders1 more

Freezing of gait (FOG) is arguably one of the most debilitating motor symptoms experienced by individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). FOG may be caused by an overload of cognitive, limbic, and sensorimotor system activity in the basal ganglia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate cognitive, limbic, and sensorimotor therapies in individuals with FOG. Participants in this study will undergo all three types of treatments in a randomized counterbalanced order. Each treatment will occur in 1 hour sessions, twice weekly for a period of 4 weeks.

Evaluation of a Novel Gait Training Device to Support Body Weight

StrokeBrain Injuries4 more

A novel body weight support device that uses pressurized pants may provide advantages in delivering gait therapy. The objectives of this study are to test the following hypotheses that 1) the novel device will allow for increased body weight support while improving or maintaining the same level of patient comfort; 2) the novel device will yield greater patient satisfaction with gait therapy relative to current harness systems; 3) therapists will be more satisfied with the use of the novel device relative to current harness systems; 4) the use of the novel device will require less total therapist time than a harness comparator; 5) the use of the novel device will increase therapeutic treatment time when compared with current harness systems.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's...

Parkinson DiseaseGait Disorders1 more

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common and devastating symptom in advanced stage Parkinson's disease (PD), which contributes to falls and disability. Unfortunately, there is no effective pharmacological treatment for FOG. It is suggested that the cortex-basal ganglia circuit, especially the frontal lobe, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of FOG. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) effects over the cortex and affects the subcortical neural circuits. Previous studies have demonstrated that rTMS can improve FOG for PD patients. In the present randomized controlled trial (RCT) study, the invastigators aim to investigate the efficiency of rTMS over different motor regions of frontal lobe. The efficacy of treatment is evaluated by the score of FOG questionnaire and FOG provoking test, and the changing of neural network shown by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). Then the effects of rTMS over different brain regions will be compared for choosing a better target. The study will provide the evidence for non-invasive neuro-modulation of Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait (PD-FOG).

Retention of Whole-body Training Effects on Ambulatory Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy...

CPGait Disorders3 more

This study will evaluate the retention effects of a four-week whole-body vibration training intervention in children with Cerebral Palsy. The primary outcomes for this study are gait function, including Timed Up and Go and the two-minute walk test. Secondary outcomes of this study include lower extremity gait function, coordination, and gait variability. For this study, a total of 10 children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) will be recruited with 5 being randomly placed into an experimental group and 5 being randomly placed into a control group. Each participant, regardless of group, will complete pre-, post-, and retention testing, with a four-week whole-body vibration training intervention between the pre- and post-testing. The four-week whole-body vibration training will include three visits per week, with the experimental group receiving a vibration stimulus while standing on a vibration platform. Vibration sessions will consist of three-minutes of vibration, followed by three minutes rest, completing this cycle three separate times. The control group will follow a similar pattern, but rather than experiencing vibration, they will hear a sound of the vibration platform through a speaker. Once the four-week training session is finished, participants will return after a three-month retention period to determine whether ambulation function was retained.

Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation for Parkinson Disease

Parkinson DiseaseGait1 more

Spinal cord stimulation has been used to treat gait problems in Parkinson's disease, with positive results along some studies. The use of non-invasive stimulation can be an alternative to stimulate the spinal corn.

Cerebellar rTMS Theta Burst for Dual-task Walking in Parkinson's Disease

ParkinsonParkinson Disease5 more

Objective of the study: To test the efficacy of theta burst cerebellar stimulation on dual task walking in Parkinson's disease using a cross-over design and wearing sensors technology Design: Twenty Parkinson's disease patients with no dementia will be recruited for a cross-over sham-controlled study. Each patient will undergo a sham stimulation or a single session of cerebellar theta burst stimulation with a wash out period of at least 14 days. Each patient will be evaluated before and after stimulation by a battery of gait and movement tests using wearing sensors technology .

Neuromodulation of Ankle Muscles in Persons With SCI

Spinal Cord InjuriesSpastic Gait1 more

The ability to voluntarily move the ankles is important for walking. After spinal cord injury (SCI), this ability is impaired because of changes in the communication between the brain, spinal cord, and body. Whole body vibration (WBV) is a treatment that increases voluntary muscle control and decreases uncontrollable muscle movement in people with SCI. The purpose of this study is to understand how WBV can impact ankle control and uncontrollable muscle movement.
