BACKGROUND: Understanding the contribution of anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) to walking ability in individuals with Huntington's disease (HD) may provide insight into motor planning and the functional consequences of HD-specific cortical-basal ganglia pathway dysfunctions.
RESEARCH QUESTION: How do inertial measurement unit (IMU)-derived APAs and first step parameters differ between individuals with HD and non-HD peers under no load and cognitive load conditions, and what is their relationship to gait speed and clinical measures?
METHODS: 33 individuals with manifest HD and 15 non-HD peers wore three Opal APDM IMUs during a 14-meter walk under no load and cognitive load conditions. APA acceleration amplitudes, APA durations, first step range of motion (ROM), and first step durations were compared, along with their relationship to gait speed.
RESULTS: Individuals with HD had greater APA acceleration amplitudes, smaller first step ROM and longer first step durations compared to non-HD peers. No differences in APA durations were present between groups in both conditions. Cognitive loading influenced first step ROM but not other APA parameters. Mediolateral APA acceleration amplitudes were a significant predictor of gait speed and were related to disease-specific measures.
SIGNIFICANCE: Larger acceleration amplitudes and smaller first step ROMs of greater duration, accompanied by the preservation of APA durations, reveal a discrepancy in movement scaling in HD. Additionally, the mediolateral component of the APA is likely a rate-limiting factor that drives a compensatory response in gait initiation. Further research is needed to explore the neural correlates of HD-related movement scaling.
