C-Gait for Detecting Freezing of Gait in the Early to Middle Stages of Parkinson's Disease: A Model Prediction Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Efficient methods for assessing walking adaptability in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) are urgently needed. Therefore, this study aimed to assess C-Gait for detecting freezing of gait (FOG) in patients with early- to middle-stage PD.

Method

People with PD (PWP) diagnosis (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1-3) were recruited from April 2019 to November 2019 in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital. The participants performed six items of walking adaptability on an instrumented treadmill augmented with visual targets and obstacles (C-Mill). The patient's walking adaptability was evaluated by C-Gait assessment and traditional walking tests, and FOG-related indexes were collected as outcome measures. Two discriminant models were established by stepwise discriminant analysis;
