Investigation of Road-crossing Safety Before and After Training Between Parkinson Disease Pedestrians and Older Pedestrians
Investigation of Road-crossing Safety Before and After Training Between Parkinson Disease Pedestrians and Older Pedestrians
As society ages, a large amount of human factors related research has been carried out into
 the subject of the safety of the elderly in their daily lives. However, most research focuses
 on the general elderly population and there is a serious lack of research into elderly
 sufferers of Parkinson's disease (PD), who receive a substantial amount of attention in
 medical circles. In the investigators previous study, the investigators have found that
 patient with PD had decreased ability to cross the road as compared to age/gender matched
 control subjects. Hence, this research proposed several training programs to enhance the
 safety of crossing road, including safe place finding，roadside search，time gap and perception
 of other's intentions. The investigators will compare the parameters of crossing road ability
 before and after training programs in patients with PD and control subjects.

 The results of this research will clarify the correlation between medical scale test
 indicators and movement safety for patients with PD. The effects of training programs will be
 provided for further safety management and design concepts to improve the lives of this
 disease group.
