Personer med neurodegenerativa sjukdomar, såsom kognitiva sjukdom och personer med Parkinson, går långsammare, tar kortare steg och har en ökad variabilitet i sin gång än kognitivt friska. Detta är några aspekter som berörs i Magnus Lindh-Rengifos avhandlingsarbete. Att gå är alltså mycket mer komplicerat än man kanske tror. Och det finns flera sätt att bedöma gång inom forskningen. Man kan fokuse
