The second edition of this definitive text, covering all clinical aspects of human locomotion and its disorders. Lewy bodies should be considered in a person with Parkinson disease who develops dementia or in someone who initially has dementia and then begins to display signs of parkinsonism, such as a stooped posture and impaired gait and balance. Gait & Posture 2005, 21 Suppl 1:116-116 . In spite of the low fall incidence the power of the study was strong and would have revealed a clinically relevant difference of 0.5 in test battery score between the two groups.

Primary endpoint measures were the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), serum markers of immunoglobulin and T-cell subsets, measured at baseline and pre-determined times post-treatment. The primary sequelae are clinical manifestations of dysarthria, dyscoordination of limbs, instability of gait, and eventual loss of posture [1-3]. Fall risk has been related to a number of factors such as history of falls, muscle weakness, gait deficit, balance deficit, use of assistive device, visual impairment, mobility impairment, fear of falling, cognitive impairment, depression, sedentary behavior, age, number . 'Currently many measurement approaches are not suitable for routine use as they are time-consuming or require specialized equipment and/or specialized clinical expertise. Early diagnosis for foot posture. Multidisciplinary in authorship and approach, it covers all the important clinical areas. 'Making evaluation 'Variations in foot posture have been found to influence lower limp gait kinematics, muscle activity, balance and functional ability, and predisposition to overuse injury,' says Professor Menz. One of the most frustrating and challenging aspects of the evolution of the clinical syndrome of AD is the gradually intensifying loss of self-awareness and insight.38 This is referred to as anosognosia, a loss of awareness of one's deficits. The pathological neuronal loss results in loss of cerebellospinal tracts and functional disorders.
