Treadmill Walking in Individuals With Dementia With Lewy Bodies and Huntington's Disease

Individuals with Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Huntington's disease (HD) experience balance and walking problems that lead to falls. Treadmill walking has demonstrated improvements in balance and walking and fall risk in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), suggesting that it may be beneficial for individuals with DLB and HD. In PD subjects, changes in gait parameters have been noted after only one treadmill training session. The investigators propose a pilot study to investigate the safety, feasibility, and utility to improve mobility and fall risk of a single session of treadmill walking in individuals with DLB and HD.
