Persons with Parkinson’s disease exhibit decreased neuromuscular complexity during gait

Highlights ► Persons with Parkinson’s disease required fewer motor modules than did healthy older adults to reconstruct 95% of the variability in the physiological processed EMG signals during treadmill walking. ► Compared to healthy older adults, activation profiles were altered in persons with Par...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Persons with Parkinson’s disease required fewer motor modules than did healthy older adults to reconstruct 95% of the variability in the physiological processed EMG signals during treadmill walking. ► Compared to healthy older adults, activation profiles were altered in persons with Parkinson’s disease while muscle weighting vectors were unchanged. ► These patterns of simplified neuromuscular control complexity were associated with decreased gait performance in persons with Parkinson’s disease.
