Despite the increasing number of studies that have examined the therapeutic effect of treadmill training programs in Parkinson's disease (PD), there has been little research to evaluate the modifications of gait induced by treadmill walking. We investigated spatiotemporal differences between treadmill and overground walking in patients with PD. PD patients significantly increased their step length and step height; and reduced their cadence, step width and step width variability on the treadmill in comparison with walking overground. PD patients are able to attenuate their short shuffling steps when walking on a treadmill.
尽管已有越来越多的研究探讨了跑步机训练方案对帕金森病(PD)的治疗效果,但评估跑步机行走所诱发的步态改变的研究却很少。我们调查了PD患者在跑步机上行走和在地面行走时的时空差异。与在地面行走相比,PD患者在跑步机上行走时步长和步高显著增加,步频、步宽和步宽变异性降低。PD患者在跑步机上行走时能够减少其短小拖曳步。
