Description
Stefan Kammermeier and co-authors compare head control on a tilting platform in two brain diseases and in healthy peers, in a study from two thousand twenty-four. Seventeen patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, eleven with Parkinson's disease, and eighteen controls rode random tilts. Body part motion was tracked in 3D.
Heads in the palsy group swung several times wider than in both other groups. Their stimulus-driven head gain doubled the Parkinson's values and ran fivefold over controls. Eye state did not change the pattern. The team blames a surface-locked control plan over a space-locked one, tied to worn midbrain paths. Neck stiffness was not the driver. Readers get a sharper fall-risk story.
