1) What is the purpose of this research?
The purpose of this research is to identify certain parameters in gait and balance to prevent severe
and deadly falls in patients with Alzhiemers disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia FTD).
2) What is the research question (or questions)? This may be implicit or explicit.
The research question for this study is, Can subclinical involvement of balance and gait parameters
be identified in Alzhiemers disease and Frontotemporal dimentia to prevent severe to deadly falls in
patients?
3) Give a complete description of the research design of this study.
Patients with AD, FTD, and a control group were studied for dynamic balance, limits of stability, and
gait. In the single tast, dynamic balance and limits of stability were measured on a posturography-
based force platform. The platform moves so that it is not flat and the patients are off balance.
Patients must adjust their “base of support” (BOS) and the reaction time and ability to readjust their

BOS is recorded. This dyname balance test ran for 20 seconds.
The limits of stability test ran for 300 second to test how well patients could return to their BOs after
moving off-balance in “eight different directions, namely, (1) forward (F), (2) backward, (3) right, (4)
left, (5) forward right, (6) forward left, (7) backward right, and (8) backward left.”
In the dual tast, patients had to complete a cognitive process (basic subtraction) while dling the
dynamaic balance tests. their The patients wore a harness to avoid injury during these tests.
