Backward Gait is Associated with Motor Symptoms and Fear of Falling in Patients with De Novo Parkinsons Disease

摘要

Background and PurposeMany previous studies have investigated forward gait (FG), backward gait (BG), and dual-task gait (DG) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it remains uncertain whether gait parameters are implicated in motor symptoms or the risk of falling, especially in patients with de novo PD.
