SPARC: a new approach to quantifying gait smoothness in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Abstract Background Impairments in biomechanics and neural control can disrupt the timing and muscle pattern activation necessary for smooth gait. Gait is one of the most affected motor characteristics in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but its smoothness has not been well-studied. This work applies the r...
