Abstract

Background: Bradykinesia, poor balance, tremor and abnormal walking may result in high risk of falling in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is previously shown that the kinematical abnormalities during walking are related to freezing of the GAIT in Parkinson’s disease. This study aimed to study the effects of kinematic dual task and arms’ position on temporal variables of walking in patients with Parkinson’s disease.Methods: Ten women with level II and III idiopathic Parkinson’s disease were recruited from local clinics as experimental group. Also a group of 14 healthy women with similar age, height and body mass index were served as control group. Using a H-Rez Motion Analysis System with three high speed Falcon cameras (240 Hz), the temporal variables of the subjects’ GAIT in normal walking, walking with holding a 2.5 kg mass, and walking with arms crossed the chest were recorded. Repeated measures analysis of variance (α<0.05) was used to analyze the data.Findings: The STRIDE LENGTH and WALKING SPEED in control and experimental groups were 121.9 ± 4.4 cm and 107.7 ± 5.3 cm/s and 79.7 ± 6.1 cm and 72.7 ± 6.9 cm/s respectively. The STRIDE LENGTH in WALKING SPEED in experimental group was about 34%, 67% smaller than in normal subjects. Walking while carrying weight resulted in STRIDE LENGTH and WALKING SPEED were of 83.1 ± 5.8 cm and 72.7 ± 5.1 cm/s in experimental group, implying about 5% improvement on the STRIDE LENGTH.Conclusion: Parkinson’s disease is associated with slower walking and shorter STRIDE LENGTH as well as longer double stance phase. Carrying weight during walking improved the STRIDE LENGTH in Parkinson’s disease. Application of this dual task is recommended for rehabilitation program in Parkinson’s disease.
