Dopamine-mediated improvements of the step threshold task in Parkinson’s disease: validation against clinical measures of motor and cognitive function
Our results validate step threshold task as a measure of dynamic balance control in patients with Parkinson's disease. Correlations with gold standard assessments of motor and executive function suggest that the step threshold task can serve as a comprehensive measure of dynamic balance control.
