“…Although this test includes the three anchors of functional mobility (gait, balance, and transfers), and is considered a good predictor of FM, it is still a little distant from the reality of dailyliving activities, which hampers its ability to capture the patient's functional status in his or her environment. 5,14 This may explain the frequent association of TUG with one or more scales found in our results. The mPAS is a scale specifically designed to evaluate PD that overcomes this limitation by assessing functional gait, balance, and transfers through different scenarios.…”

“…Recognizing limitations in FM is important to better understand and address patients' daily real-life needs and monitoring them over time. 4,5 In spite of being loosely defined, several tests and rating scales have been used to assess FM in PD patients, 3,5 but there is no consensus on the most adequate tools for screening or for using as outcome measures to monitor change over time. This lack of consensus limits the interpretation of results from studies and hampers the evaluation of therapeutics and discussion among peers.…”

Background Background: Functional mobility (FM) is a person's ability to move to accomplish activities of daily living; it bridges the concepts of mobility and functional ability. There is frequently a loss of FM in Parkinson's disease (PD). Several instruments have been used to assess this concept in PD; however, there is no consensus on which are the most appropriate. Objective Objective: We aimed to identify and critically appraise which measurement instruments have been used to assess FM. Methods Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the databases CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and PEDro from their inception to January 2019 to identify all observational and experimental studies conducted in PD or atypical parkinsonism that included an FM assessment. Two reviewers independently screened citations, extracted data, and assessed clinimetric properties. Results Results: We included 95 studies that assessed FM in PD. Fifty-five (57.9%) studies mentioned FM in the article, and 39 (41.1%) specified the measurement tools used to evaluate FM. FM was the primary outcome in 12 (12.6%) studies. The Timed Up and Go test was the most frequently used measurement tool. Only one study presented a definition of FM. Several overlapping terms were used, the most common being mobility. Conclusion Conclusion: Several studies reported the use of FM measurement tools in PD, though with frequent misconceptions, an inadequate context of use, or suboptimal assessment. We propose the establishment of the concept of FM applied to PD, followed by the adequate clinimetric validation of existing measurement tools to provide a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of FM in PD.

BackgroundThe present study examined the effects of a balance-based exergaming intervention using the Kinect sensor on postural stability and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD).MethodsWe conducted a subject-blinded, randomized controlled study. Twenty people with PD (Hoehn and Yahr stages I through III) were recruited and randomly assigned to either a balance-based exergaming group (N = 10) or a balance training group (N = 10) for an 8-week balance training period. Postural stability was assessed using the limits of stability (LOS) and one-leg stance (OLS) tests. Balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the timed up and go (TUG) test. Participants were assessed pre- and post-training.ResultsAfter training, participants in the balance-based exergaming group showed significant improvements in LOS performance, and in the eyes-closed condition of the OLS test. Both training programs led to improvements in BBS and TUG performance. Furthermore, balance-based exergaming training resulted in significantly better performance in directional control in the LOS test (78.9 ± 7.65 %) compared with conventional balance training (70.6 ± 9.37 %).ConclusionsBalance-based exergaming training resulted in a greater improvement in postural stability compared with conventional balance training. Our results support the therapeutic use of exergaming aided by the Kinect sensor in people with PD.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov.NCT02671396Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12984-016-0185-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The TUG is a clinical test for the construct of physical mobility 13 that has been found reliable and valid in PwPD. 22 It consists of measuring the time it takes for a subject to: stand up from a standard arm chair, walk a distance of 3 m, turn 180°, walk back to the chair, and sit down again. The TUG can also be performed as a cognitive dual task (i.e., counting backwards by 3s while walking).…”
