Visual cues definition10/30/2023 ![]() The turn duration and velocity response to visual cues were assessed using linear mixed effects models. Participants walked straight and performed 180° and 360° turns midway through a 10 m walk, which was done with and without visual cues (starred pattern). ![]() This exploratory interventional study measured turning while walking in 43 participants with PD (22 with self-reported FoG) and 20 controls using an inertial sensor placed at the fifth lumbar vertebrae region. We aimed to (i) compare the response of turning performance while walking (180° and 360° turns) to visual cues in people with PD with and without FoG and (ii) examine the relationship between FoG severity and response to visual cues during turning. However, the effects of visual cues on turning deficits in PD remains unclear. ![]() Visual cues have been shown to improve general gait characteristics in PD. Turning is a common impairment of mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), which increases freezing of gait (FoG) episodes and has implications for falls risk.
