Table 3. Comparison of gait parameters for the most and least affected sides in the in PD-GBA and non-GBA in the OFF-medication condition and healthy controls.

PD-GBA Non-mutation carriers Healthy Controls p-value
Arm swing velocity (degrees/s) Most affected 156.6 ± 62.2 110.9 ± 69.7 168.6 ± 48.4 0.059+
Least affected 155 ± 38.8 140.5 ± 38.7 0.299+
p-value 0.929 0.148
Arm range of motion (degrees) Most affected 31.4 ± 15.4 15.7 ± 7.1 39.8 ± 15.0 0.001+
Least affected 33.1 ± 11.6 29.7 ± 12.8 0.430+
p-value 0.725 0.001
Stride length (m) Most affected 1.1 ± 0.1 1.0 ± 0.18 1.2 ± 0.11 0.406+
Least affected 1.1 ± 0.11 1.0 ± 0.2 0.060+
p-value 0.508 0.630

Gait parameters and their asymmetry in PD-GBA vs. non-GBA subjects for most and least affected sides in the OFF state. Mean of both body sides were calculated in controls.

+:p-values are comparing GBA carriers and non-GBA carriers; GBA = glucocerebrosidase.
