Motor Adaptation to Split-Belt Treadmill in Parkinson's Disease

Summary

Freezing of Gait (FOG) is a disabling symptom common in advanced Parkinson's Disease. FOG is an independent contributor to fall risk and is only partially relieved by medication. Parkinson's patients with FOG are known to have more difficulty with gait adaptation in their day to day environment. Further, asymmetry of gait has been implicated in FOG as these episodes are often elicited during asymmetric tasks such as turning. This study will examine the effect of a single session of split-belt treadmill walking on gait adaptation, gait symmetry and FOG as well as 24 hour retention of these effects.
