Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an
external rhythm, ranging from finger tapping in time with a metronome to musical ensemble …

The use of rhythmic auditory cueing to enhance gait performance in parkinsonian patients' is
an emerging area of interest. Different theories and underlying neurophysiological …

Distinct gait characteristics like short steps and shuffling gait are prototypical signs
commonly observed in Parkinson's disease. Routinely assessed by observation through …

Hausdorff JM, Rios DA, Edelberg HK. Gait variability and fall risk in community-living older
adults: a 1-year prospective study. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2001; 82: 1050-6. Objective: To …

According to classical concepts of physiologic control, healthy systems are self-regulated to
reduce variability and maintain physiologic constancy. Contrary to the predictions of …

There is evidence that physiological signals under healthy conditions may have a fractal
temporal structure. Here we investigate the possibility that time series generated by certain …

A defining but elusive feature of physiologic systems is their daunting complexity. This
complexity arises from the interaction of a myriad of structural units and regulatory feedback …

Falling poses a major threat to the steadily growing population of the elderly in modern-day
society. A major challenge in the prevention of falls is the identification of individuals who …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, debilitating neurodegenerative disease. Gait
disturbances are a frequent cause of disability and impairment for patients with PD. This …
