During gait, increased trunk movements are often observed. People with HSP likely generate trunk movements to improve foot clearance and step length, but there may be additional explanations. Here, we investigate whether there is an association between reduced balance performance and increased trunk movements, as an increase in trunk movements may partly reflect balance correcting strategies.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We analyzed an historic cohort of 86 people with HSP who underwent gait analysis and balance examination. Two researchers reviewed gait analyses videos and classified the observed trunk movement as (1) normal, (2) moderately increased, or (3) markedly increased, and categorized participants as \u2018toe walkers\u2019 (yes\/no). Balance performance and spatiotemporal gait parameters were collected from the medical files. Parameters were compared between people with normal vs. moderately increased trunk movements, moderately vs. markedly increased trunk movements, and normal vs. markedly increased trunk movements.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients with moderately increased trunk movements during gait scored lower on the Berg Balance Scale (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002) and\/or the Mini Balance Evaluation Test (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.043) than patients with normal trunk movements.

This may have several\u2014not mutually exclusive\u2014explanations. One of these explanations is that trunk movements, at least partly, reflect balance correcting strategies. With the disease progression, ankle strategies and foot placement strategies become impaired and insufficient to restore balance after intrinsic perturbations. Hip strategies are then potentially recruited to maintain balance, resulting in increased trunk movements.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-022-11054-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,20]],"date-time":"2022-03-20T17:02:20Z","timestamp":1647795740000},"page":"4264-4269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Increased trunk movements in people with hereditary spastic paraplegia: do these involve balance correcting strategies?"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"269","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6917-9227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lotte","family":"van de Venis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vivian","family":"Weerdesteyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aletta","family":"Konijnenburg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bart P.
