Quantitative assessments of gait and mobility in Parkinson's disease.
Gait and mobility of 50 Parkinsonian patients were studied using an instrumented walkway and by analysis of video tape. Whilst walking velocities did not differ from those of subjects with other conditions affecting gait, worsening of the patients' clinical condition was related to deterioration of scores in these objective tests.
