BackgroundGait deficits in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are triggered by circumstances requiring gait adaptation. The effects of gait adaptation training on a split-belt treadmill (SBT) are unknown in PD.ObjectiveWe investigated the effects of repeated SBT versus tied-belt treadmill (TBT) training on retention and automaticity of gait adaptation and its transfer to over-ground walking and turning.MethodsWe recruited 52 individuals with PD, of whom 22 were freezers, in a multi-center randomized single-blind controlled study. Training consisted of 4 weeks of supervised treadmill training delivered three times per week. Tests were conducted pre- and post-training and at 4-weeks follow-up. Turning (primary outcome) and gait were assessed over-ground and during a gait adaptation protocol on the treadmill. All tasks were performed with and without a cognitive task.ResultsWe found that SBT-training improved gait adaptation with moderate to large effects sizes (P ConclusionPeople with PD are able to learn and retain the ability to overcome asymmetric gait-speed perturbations on a treadmill remarkably well, but seem unable to generalize these skills to asymmetric gait off-treadmill. Future study is warranted into gait adaptation training to boost the transfer of complex walking skills. © 2022 The Authors.
