Several measures of balance obtained from quiet stance on an electronic platform are described. These measures were found to discriminate patients with Parkinson disease (PD) from normal control subjects. First degree relatives of patients with PD show greater variability on these measures. A primary goal is to develop sensitive measures that would be capable of identifying impaired balance in early stages of non-clinical PD.
描述了从电子平台上的安静站立姿势获得的几种平衡测量方法。发现这些测量方法能够区分帕金森病(PD)患者和正常对照受试者。PD患者的一级亲属在这些测量方法上表现出更大的变异性。一个主要目标是开发能够在非临床PD早期阶段识别平衡受损的敏感测量方法。
