Badania niektórych parametrów chodu pacjentów z chorob Parkinsona

The aim of the paper was to evaluate chosen gait parameters in patients with the Parkinson's disease while walking on straight sections and slalom of a chosen route. The research covered two groups: the examination group numbering 17 patients with the Parkinson's disease (average age 71 years) and the control group including 17 healthy people (average age 70 years). The examination was based on covering a route consisting of straight sections and slaloms, designed according to the idea of the authors. Patients with the Parkinson's disease achieved worse results in comparison with healthy people of similar age, especially on the slalom distances.
