Abstract
- Introduction: Gait initiation is preceded by three anticipatory postural adjustment (APA) phases. In Parkinson's disease (PD) generated force, displacement and timing during APA differ from healthy controls. APA might be influenced by disease status, weight or emotion. It is unknown how motor severity, disease duration or presence of apathy influences APA timing and displacement. Methods: We included 99 people with PD and 50 healthy controls (HC) to perform five gait initiation trials following an auditory cue. Force plates measured timing and center of pressure (CoP) displacement during APA phases. Results: Time to gait initiation (tGI) was higher in the PD group (p
