The purpose of this study is to investigate whether speed-dependent measures of gait can be identified in patients with neurological conditions that affect gait, particularly in subjects with parkinsonian disorders.
Age 18-85 (for both healthy and affected subjects).
Presence of at least 2 of the following: bradykinesia, rest tremor, rigidity, postural instability (UK PD Brain Bank Criteria) (Affected subjects only).

Presence of alternative explanation for parkinsonism such as head trauma, drug-induced parkinsonism (affected subjects only).
