Gait responses to internal & external cues were similar across #Parkinsons disease stages. Different cues improved certain aspects of gait, & cues could be personalized based on deficits. Multiple brain regions may contribute to gait improvements w/ cues. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Dr Rodrigo Vitorio @Vitorio_Ro at Northumbria University is recruiting a PhD Student to explore Cholinergic function and ageing: establishing normative data and associations with gait and cognition. Closing date: 31st March dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/job/phd-cholin…

🚨🧠 New PhD opportunity at @NorthumbriaUni; in collaboration with @UniofNewcastle "Cholinergic function and ageing: establishing normative data and associations with gait and cognition" @rachaellawson85 @Rosiemo24 #EEG #cognition #gait findaphd.com/phds/project/c…

#JustPublish "Locomotion and Posture in Older Adults". This second edition book sheds new light on the effects of #aging and #movementdisorders on movement control during walking and postural tasks. Find it here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

🚨 The second edition of "Locomotion and Posture in Older Adults" has been published. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… @FabioABarbieri Paulo C R Santos A huge thank you to all contributing authors.

Oito sessões de estimulação elétrica transcraniana melhoram a resposta postural de pessoas com Parkinson. Estudo conduzido na Unesp indica que a técnica não invasiva promove benefício duradouro, reduzindo o risco de queda | agencia.fapesp.br/53889

Obrigado, @AgenciaFAPESP, pela divulgação e visibilidade dada ao nosso trabalho. @Orcioli_SilvaD Vinicius Zampier Gabriel Moraca Marcelo Pereira Lilian Gobbi (In memoriam) @Vitorio_Ro agencia.fapesp.br/oito-sessoes-d…

Results from this study on hemodynamics in pre-frontal cortex regions in people with #MultipleSclerosis (MS) during regular & dual-task gait suggest people with MS may have reduced gait automaticity and limited cognitive resources to respond to dual tasks. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Fresh findings (preprint)! #EEG 🧠 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. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… #gait

🚨 Fully-funded PhD opportunity 🚨 Excited to announce a PhD position under my supervision, exploring home-based leg isometric exercise and lifestyle changes for managing hypertension! Apply now!

🚨Check out our new paper on the effects of #tDCS on postural response to perturbation in people with #parkinsons. 🧠⚡ 8 sessions of tDCS led to: - faster muscle activation - less time to recover balance Benefits lasted for 1 month! 50 days' access authors.elsevier.com/c/1jgAg3RoQ8ma…

🚨 2 weeks left to apply PhD opportunity @NorthumbriaUni measuring gait and falls in #Parkinsons in collaboration with @DanuSports Come work with myself, @Rosiemo24 @samstuart87 @godfreybiomed findaphd.com/phds/project/o…

Kick off for @ParkinsonsUK research dissemination event @NorthumbriaUni expertly organised by @JulesD_Physio & @gillbarry1 #PPI #digitalhealth
