Purpose. People with Parkinson's disease (PD) frequently freeze or fall turning: They turn slowly taking numerous steps. We aimed to describe more fully the differences observed on turning between people with and without PD, in particular the extent of left-right asymmetry and the correlations between turning and age, balance and PD severity, using a simple clinical test.Method. Twenty-eight people with PD (median age 71; median years since diagnosis eight) and 12 controls (median age 70) performed the video-based Standing Start 180° Turn Test. We counted turning steps (n), evaluated turn time (sec), type and quality (0 – 5, based on independence, ground clearance, stability, continuity and posture) and calculated the 95% limits of left-rig...
