The gait abnormality of Huntington's disease
Abstract
We investigated 13 patients with Huntington's disease and assessed gait by filming and by gait analyzer before and after increasing haloperidol dosage, until chorea was suppressed or side effects intervened. The severity of chorea and ataxia was scored blindly from videotapes. Gaits were abnormal in 12 of 13 patients and 5 of 6 patients who had symptoms for less than 5 years. Clinical characteristics included wide-based station, lateral swaying, spontaneous knee flexion, variable cadence, and parkinsonian features. Biomechanical analysis illustrated that gait characteristics varied in each walk, with a mean decrease in velocity, stride length, and cadence. Haloperidol treatment decreased chorea but did not affect gait patterns. Ataxia occurs early in the disease, has a distinct but variable pattern, is unrelated to chorea, and is not improved by haloperidol.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
