Active clinical trials for "Gait Disorders, Neurologic"

Motor skill training therapy aims to improve the brain's control of walking and can improve clinic-based measures of walking in older adults. However, it is unknown whether the benefits of motor skill training extend to real world mobility measures. The investigators will test the effects of motor skill training on measures of community mobility of older adults and assess the mechanisms through improved motor control at the level of the brain. These results will inform intervention approaches to maintain community mobility of older adults and prevent disability and institutionalization.

The aim of this study was to develop a gait assessment instrument for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patients (DMD-GAS), and investigate its validity and reliability.The scale was developed considering the expert opinions which included 10 physiotherapists who had experience in the management of patients with DMD over the 2-round Delphi method, and the Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated. The final version of the DMD-GAS that was agreed upon the experts consisted of 10 items, and each item scored between 0 and 2. The intra-rater reliability was established by the video analysis of children with a 1-month interval and inter-rater reliability was determined by the scores of 3 physiotherapists. The criterion validity was determined by investigating the relationship between the total score of the DMD-GAS and Motor Function Measure (MFM), 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and the data obtained from GAITRite system.

This study evaluates the effect of the need to void on parkinsonian gait

The aim of this study is to validate a smart insoles system in comparison to the gold-standard GaitRite for a pathologic gait. The device evaluate gait parameters in real time thanks to an embedded algorithm based on the processing of inertial measurement unit and 19 sensors signals. At D0 and D7, the patient is evaluated by both the GaitRite® system and the FeetMe Monitor® system simultaneously. Hemiparetic patients have two measurements 7 days apart. The patient repeats 5 trials at a comfortable speed on the GaitRite® mat while wearing the FeetMe® insoles. Each measurement is repeated by 4 different operators. A total of 20 trials are made by the patient.

Cerebellar vermis anomalies are present in schizophrenic individuals. This condition leads to postural balance problems. Foot and ankle complex have a special role for maintaining balance. However, there is no study about this topic in schizophrenic individuals.

The 4-meter walk test and 10-meter walk test is currently applied to assess gait speed.These tools are frequently used in clinical trials and were also shown to be reliable measurement methods. There are ocassions where it is not possible to have a long corridor to measure gait speed. It is necessary to have a tool to evaluate gait speed in a small space as 4-meter walk test.

The research will make it possible to assess patients who recovered from COVID-19 for the incidence of neurological problems (impaired balance, gait, coordination, concentration and attention), and changes in the quality of life, physical activity, social contacts and education.

Phase I: Exploring what stroke survivors exactly learn when recovering the ability to stand and walk.

In order to achieve collaborative patient-centered rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease, detailed evaluation of walking and balance in evaluating the perceived difficulty in daily life is important to evaluate the progression of the disease and its response to treatments. In the literature, there are many scales that evaluate balance and functional performance in Parkinson Disease. However there is no validity and reliability study of Dubousset Function Test developed to evaluate balance and functional performance of Parkinson Disease. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of Dubousset Function Test in Parkinson Disease.

The aim of the study is to create a specific test to assess the global time required to go to the toilet and to perform micturition, at the moment the patient decides to urinate in multiple sclerosis population, and to assess its reliability.
