{"title":"Split-Belt Adaptation and Savings in People With Parkinson Disease.","authors":"Elizabeth D Thompson,&nbsp;Darcy S Reisman","doi":"10.1097/NPT.0000000000000411","DOIUrl":"10.1097/NPT.0000000000000411","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background and purpose: </strong>Upper extremity studies suggest that implicit adaptation is less impaired than explicit learning in persons with Parkinson disease (PD). Little work has explored implicit locomotor adaptation and savings in this population, yet implicit locomotor learning is critical for everyday function. This cross-sectional study examined adaptation and savings in individuals with PD during split-belt treadmill walking.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Fourteen participants completed the following treadmill protocol: Baseline (6 minutes belts tied), Adaptation (10 minutes split), Washout (10 minutes tied), and Readaptation (10 minutes split). Step length and step symmetry index (SSI) were calculated to determine magnitude and rate of adaptation and savings. Rate was calculated as strides to reach SSI plateau during Adaptation and Readaptation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>During Early Adaptation and Early Readaptation, SSI was perturbed from Baseline ( P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively). Less perturbation in Early Readaptation ( P < 0.001) demonstrated savings. In Late Adaptation and Late Readaptation, participants returned to Baseline symmetry ( P = 0.026 and P = 0.022, respectively, with adjusted level of significance = 0.007).
