The effects of pulsed auditory stimulation on various gait measurements in persons with Parkinson's Disease
- R. FreedlandCarmel Festa J. Rothman
- 22 April 2002
Medicine
The results confirm prior findings that auditory stimulation can be used to positively influence the gait of persons with PD and suggest beneficial effects of ASM as an adjunct to dopaminergic therapy to treat gait dysfunctions in PD.

Medicine
Although each technique significantly reduced pain perception and SEA, the combination of IC and PS was superior, apparently because of the complementary nature of the therapeutic interventions.

QJM : monthly journal of the Association of…
There was a significant reduction in overall average activity after the treadmill test, but this reduction was accompanied by a significant increase in the duration of the waking day and number of daily rests, suggesting marked exertion does produce changes in activity, but later than self-report would suggest.
The functional ambulation performance of elderly fallers and non-fallers walking at their preferred velocity
- A. NelsonLisa J. Certo D. Zwick
- 1 December 1999
Medicine
Findings suggest that there is a measurable decrease in the performance of gait in senior adults who have fallen that may be related to diminished strength, balance, and tactile sensation.

The validity of the GaitRite and the Functional Ambulation Performance scoring system in the analysis of Parkinson gait
- A. NelsonD. Zwick J. Rothman
- 10 August 2002
Medicine
The results indicate that the GaitRite system can be useful in detecting footfall patterns and selected time and distance measurements of persons with early stage Parkinson’s disease and the FAP score discriminates between the PD population and the non-impaired controls when walking at preferred rate but not at fast walking.

The possible beneficial effects of low-intensity, pulsed galvanic currents on the healing of tenotomized Achilles tendons was investigated in three groups (20 animals each) of male Sprague-Dawley…
SOMATOSENSORY TRIGEMINAL EVOKED POTENTIAL AMPLITUDES FOLLOWING LOW LEVEL LASER AND SHAM IRRADIATION OVER TIME
- A. NelsonM. Friedman
- 2000
Medicine
It is demonstrated that intraoral laser application to the maxillary nerve, where covered only by mucous membrane, results in significantly reduced STEP amplitudes, which suggests that intraoran laser therapy may be an effective pain control treatment.
