Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 26 healthy subjects, 26 patients with Parkinson's disease. Allocation of healthy subjects and patients with Parkinson's disease will be based on whether or not they have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: When it is deemed difficult to measure leg grip strength, bone density, rhythm sense, or gait. When a medical device such as a pacemaker or deep brain stimulation device is implanted in the body.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The gait assessment is measured by Timed up and go test and 10 m straight line walk. G-WALK (gait measurement device) acquires the results of gait analysis such as walking speed, cadence, stride, etc., in addition to the time required for each test. The variability such as step time variability, stride length variability, and single support time variability are also obtained from the results.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Body Composition, Grip Strength, Foot Grip Strength, Center of Gravity Motions, Bone Density
