ABSTRACT

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurological disorder, which causes instability in standing balance. The risk factors for falls in PD include disease severity, medication state (On/Off state), and dual tasking. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of dopaminergic medication and dual tasking on standing balance in PD by evaluating not only the center of pressure but also muscle cocontraction. Two patients with PD were included in this pilot case study. Relational trends were found among physical symptoms, COP, and muscle cocontraction. Evaluations of COP and cocontraction may be useful in making decisions for rehabilitation prescription.

摘要

帕金森病 (PD) 是一种常见的神经系统疾病，会导致站立平衡不稳定。PD 跌倒的风险因素包括疾病严重程度、药物状态（开/关状态）和双重任务。本研究的目的是通过不仅评估压力中心而且评估肌肉共收缩来评估多巴胺能药物和双重任务对 PD 站立平衡的影响。该试点案例研究包括两名 PD 患者。在身体症状、COP 和肌肉共收缩之间发现了相关趋势。COP 和联合收缩的评估可能有助于做出康复处方的决定。
