| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Study 1 elucidated that the increased risk of forward loss of equilibrium is associated with decreased step length, while forward dynamic instability is associated with increased cadence in Parkinson's disease(PD) patients with freezing of gait(FOG). Study 2 revealed that PD patients tend to turn close to the TUG marker, and this turning strategy may be associated with the decreased step length when turning. Study 3 found that the novel split-belt gait training, in which left and right belt speeds are varied in a pendulum fashion, may improve gait asymmetry in PD patients with FOG. Study 4 provided the first evidence on the favorable effects of long-term physiotherapy on motor symptoms in off period and the antiparkinsonian medication dosage.
