Disturbances of gait occur in all stages of Huntington's disease (HD) including the premanifest and prodromal stages. Individuals with HD demonstrate the slower speed of gait, shorter stride length, and increased variability of gait parameters as compared to controls; cognitive disturbances in HD often compound these differences. Abnormalities of gait and recurrent falls lead to decreased quality of life for individuals with HD throughout the disease. This scoping review aims to outline the cross-disciplinary approach to gait evaluation in HD and will highlight the utility of objective measures in defining gait abnormalities in this patient population.
亨廷顿舞蹈症(HD)的各个阶段都会出现步态障碍,包括临床前期和前驱期。与对照组相比,HD患者表现出步态速度较慢、步幅较短以及步态参数变异性增加;HD患者的认知障碍往往会加剧这些差异。步态异常和反复跌倒导致HD患者在整个病程中的生活质量下降。本综述旨在概述HD步态评估的跨学科方法,并将强调客观测量在定义该患者群体步态异常中的作用。
