Gait Dynamics in Parkinson’s Disease: Short Gait Trials “Stitched” Together Provide Different Fractal Fluctuations Compared to Longer Trials

Gait Dynamics in Parkinson’s Disease: Short Gait Trials “Stitched” Together Provide Different Fractal Fluctuations Compared to Longer Trials

The fractal analysis of stride-to-stride fluctuations in walking has become an integral part of human gait research. Fractal analysis of stride time intervals can provide insights into locomotor function and dysfunction, but its application requires a large number of strides, which can be difficult...
