Predictive potential of circular walking in prodromal Parkinson’s disease

In this nine-year prospective nested case-control study, we aim to investigate whether circular gait (i.e., continuous turning or also referred as curved walking) is predictive of clinically evident PD. Particularly, in this exploratory study we will evaluate the associations of circular gait features, assessed with a single low-back Body-Fixed Sensor under single and dualtask conditions, with the risk of developing Parkinson's Disease.
