Congratulations to @ParkinsonDotOrg 2020 Clinical Research Award recipients! We are proud to support these promising early-career #Parkinsons#scientists 👨🏽🔬🧪
Gait didn't improve (or worsened) in people w/ Parkinson's disease when using a digital laser shoe for visual cues, & ⬆️ gait variability may increase fall risk. More work needs to be done to develop practical, effective cueing devices for this population.

Our Director, @Rosiemo24, has been awarded a prestigious fellowship (>£1m) from the @NIHRresearch to develop a digital technology for falls assessment and a rehabilitation programme to improve mobility in Parkinson’s disease.

Fresh findings (preprint)!

We found that resting-state alpha reactivity (a marker of cholinergic function) is associated with gait variability and cognition in people with #Parkinsons@Ellen_Lirani Layla C. Silva @Beretta_VS@Orcioli_SilvaD@lucasphysics @daniboari
Researchers used fNIRS to record relative prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in people w/ #Parkinsons disease while walking. Their results suggest a reduction in PFC activity while walking may indicate less impaired, more automatic control of walking.

Congratulations to our Co-Lead Dr @Rosiemo24 on starting her @NIHRresearch Advanced Fellowship to improve turning in people living with #Parkinsons! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm delighted to share that today I commence my @NIHRresearch Advanced Fellowship at @NorthumbriaUni. I will spend this dedicated research time working to improve rehabilitation for turning in people with Parkinson's.
Super excited to get started! 👩🔬
Come join us @NorthumbriaUni in the @Physio_In_Lab!
Excellent PhD opportunity measuring gait and falls in collaboration with @DanuSports

This study examined prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity during #gait in adults with persisting #concussion symptoms. PFC activity was higher in those with concussion, & higher PFC activity was related to greater symptom severity and some gait characteristics. https://t.co/i4fawiZ7Ay
