Objective: To compare the spatiotemporal and kinematics parameters of 3D gait analysis in early PD with the healthy elderly.
Material/Methods: Ten patients with early PD, stage 1 and 2 Hoehn and Yahr Modified Scale and ten healthy elderly subjects were recruited and evaluated for spatiotemporal and kinematics parameters of 3D gait analysis.
Results: There were statistically significant differences between healthy elderly group and the early PD group, in stride velocity, stride length, and in the hip joint kinematics data: on initial contact, on maximum extension during terminal contact and on maximum flexion during mid-swing.
Conclusion: The 3D gait analysis significantly characterized the difference between early PD and normal healthy elderly.
