Name Professor Subject 01 February 1, 2018 The following questions pertain to: Velayutham, S. G., Chandra, S. R., Bharath, S., & Shankar, R. G. (2017). Quantitative balance and gait measurement in patients with frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer diseases: A pilot study. Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 39(2), 176-182. doi:10.4103/0253-7176.203132 http://proxy.chamberlain.edu:8080/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=122248443&site=eds-live&scope=siteWhat is the purpose of this research? The study is meant to look into gait and balance-related problems as a result of Alzheimer's and Frontotemporal Dementia. What is the research question (or questions)? This may be implicit or explicit. Can the analysis of subcortical signs and the observation of any differential patterns be successfully integrated into early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease and Front temporal Dementia? Is there any significant difference in gait and balance between the AD/FTD group and the control group? Give a complete description of the research design of this study. The balance and gait of the sample population were measured after the determination of the individuals' factors such as age, gender, weight, and height. A dynamic posturography was used in the measurement of balance (dynamic balance and limit of stability). On the other hand, gait was determined using the Biodex Gait Trainer. A balance was measured by the use of an unstable platform which forces the subject to shift his body weight. Limit of stability combines a cognitive task and dynamic balance. Data collected in the Gait assessment include gait speed,
