      Fernández Lago, Helena; Bello, Olalla; López Alonso, Virginia; Sánchez Molina, José-Andrés; Morenilla, Luis; Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel (Wolters Kluwer, 2015-11-01)
      [Abstract] Objective: The aim of this study was to explore whether attentional demands are involved in gait improvements in Parkinson disease (PD) patients when they walk on a treadmill. Design: Nineteen individuals with ...
    • How does the treadmill affect gait in Parkinson’s disease? 

      Bello, Olalla; Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel (Bentham, 2012)
      [Abstract] Parkinson’s disease (PD) is clinically characterized by symptoms of akinesia, rigidity, and resting tremor, which are related to a dopaminergic deficiency of the nigrostriatal pathway. Disorders of gait are ...
    • Mechanisms Involved in Treadmill Walking Improvements in Parkinson's Disease 

      Bello, Olalla; Márquez, Gonzalo; Camblor, Miguel; Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel (Elsevier, 2010-05-10)
      [Abstract] Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) improve gait after treadmill training and while they are walking over the treadmill. However, the mechanisms of these improvements have not been addressed. We designed a ...
    • Spatiotemporal parameters of gait during treadmill and overground walking in Parkinson's disease 

      Bello, Olalla; Sánchez Molina, José-Andrés; Vázquez-Santos, Cristina; Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel (IOS Press, 2014)
      [Abstract] Despite the increasing number of studies that have examined the therapeutic effect of treadmill training programs in Parkinson's disease (PD), there has been little research to evaluate the modifications of gait ...
    • The effects of auditory startle and nonstartle stimuli on step initiation in Parkinson's disease 

      Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel; Bello, Olalla; López-Alonso, Virginia; Sánchez Molina, José-Andrés; Santos-García, Diego; Valls-Solé, Josep (Wiley, 2012-10-02)
      [Abstract] Background. Auditory external cues enhance step initiation in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. We wanted to explore whether a startle reaction has a comparable effect on step initiation in PD. Methods. Thirteen ...
    • The Effects of Startle and Non-Startle Auditory Stimuli on Wrist Flexion Movement in Parkinson's Disease 

      Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel; Bello, Olalla; López-Alonso, Virginia; Márquez, Gonzalo; Sánchez Molina, José-Andrés; Morenilla, Luis; Valls-Solé, Josep (Elsevier, 2013)
      [Abstract] Startle stimuli lead to shorter reaction times in control subjects and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, non-startle stimuli also enhance movement initiation in PD. We wanted to examine whether a ...
    • The Effects of Treadmill or Overground Walking Training Program on Gait in Parkinson's Disease 

      Bello, Olalla; Sánchez Molina, José-Andrés; López Alonso, Virginia; Márquez, Gonzalo; Morenilla, Luis; Castro, X.; Giráldez-García, Manuel Avelino; Santos-García, Diego; Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel (Elsevier, 2013-02-19)
      [Abstract] Background. Gait impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients is characterized by the inability to generate appropriate stride length. Treadmill training has been proposed as a therapeutic tool for PD patients. ...
    • Treadmill walking in Parkinson's disease patients: adaptation and generalization effect 

      Bello, Olalla; Sánchez Molina, José-Andrés; Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel (Wiley, 2008-05-07)
      [Abstract] We examined the adaptation and generalization effect of one familiarization treadmill walking session on gait in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with different degrees of disease severity. Eight moderate ...
