Description
This research has advanced our understanding of how the brain controls muscle activity during walking, in healthy adults of different ages and people with Parkinson's disease. It has shown that there is direct brain control of leg muscles during the double support phase of gait in these populations. Moreover, this brain control is reduced in people with Parkinson's compared to healthy individuals, and standard anti-Parkinsonian medication does not counteract this deficiency.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
