A recent study conducted by researchers from Islamic Azad University in Hamedan, Iran, examined the spatio-temporal gait variability during obstacle crossing in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study included 15 men with PD and 17 age-matched healthy men. The results showed that individuals with PD had lower cadence and walking speed, and higher swing time, stance time, stride time, step time, single support time, and double support time compared to the control group. Crossing obstacles also resulted in increased stride time, stance time, step length, and stride length compared to normal walking. The study concluded that obstacle crossing in individuals with PD increased the risk of falls due to reduced walking speed and increased double support time. The greater variability in gait during normal walking or obstacle crossing, along with decreased cognitive functions, further increased the risk of falls during challenging activities.
