The aim of this study was to assess whether the GAITRite gait analysis system an effective tool in evaluating parkinsonian bradykinesia. In their best ON and worst OFF states, 13 parkinsonian patients were asked to perform walking trail at their fastest velocity, and to submit to traditional timed tests. Significant correlations existed between OFF-ON improvement in gait parameters and in UPDRS III score (r(2)=0.59-0.78) except cadence. Among the gait parameters, stride length is the most effective indicator of timed test and UPDRS III score improvements. The GAITRite system is an efficient, yet effective device in evaluating parkinsonian bradykinesia and can be used as a substitute for the traditional timed test.
本研究的目的是评估GAITRite步态分析系统是否是评估帕金森病运动迟缓的有效工具。在13名帕金森病患者处于最佳“开”状态和最差“关”状态时,要求他们以最快速度进行步行测试,并接受传统的定时测试。除步频外,步态参数的“关”-“开”状态改善与统一帕金森病评定量表(UPDRS)III评分之间存在显著相关性(r(2)=0.59-0.78)。在步态参数中,步长是定时测试和UPDRS III评分改善的最有效指标。GAITRite系统是评估帕金森病运动迟缓的一种高效且有效的设备,可作为传统定时测试的替代方法。
