Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease patients: performance versus capacity

Abstract Gait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions provides the actual performance of the...
