Objective: To determine if tandem gait progression is dependent on disease severity in Parkinson's disease.Background: Tandem gait is widely used to assess a variety of neurologic and vestibular diseases. Tandem gait has been reported to predict fall risk in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) ...
More cognitive difficulty was associated with more tandem gait difficulty in ET. Ambulation often requires the concurrent use of both cognitive and motor neural systems; hence it is possible that the cognitive and gait problems in ET reflect an underlying pervasive disorder affecting both cognitive and...

ataxiais associated with an irregular, uncoordinated gait which in its mildest form is evidenced on tandem gait testing, while when more severe manifest as wide-based gait, with variable step length, unsteady turns, and with frequent side-to-side lurching or deviation. Cerebellar ataxia is ...

Balance is assessed by measuring the time patients can stand on both feet in tandem stance (heel to toe) and on one foot (single stance); normal is ≥ 5 seconds. Gait velocity is measured using a stopwatch. Patients are timed while walking a fixed distance (preferably 6 or 8 ...
These conservative protocols are often the first line of treatment. However, if your case is extremely severe, our podiatrist may refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon. Following surgery, we will work in tandem with your surgeon’s post-operative treatment plan to help you rebuild strength and pro...
Tandem gait is widely used during clinical exams to evaluate dynamic balance in chronic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The early detection of balance impairments in MS is challenging to improve the understanding of patients' complaints. The objective was to propose two indexes to quanti...
In a random subset of 977 participants, gait was assessed with an electronic walkway; people with polyneuropathy exhibited reduced gait speed, reduced cadence, and more errors tandem walking. Osteoarthritis Although not a neurological cause of gait impairment, it is important to mention the influence...
