Posterior cortical atrophy

1. Posterior cortical atrophy has no effect on step velocity in humans.

   “no significant differences were found for pattern and variability outcomes or between PCA and AD groups ( p >0.05; Figure 1).”

2. Posterior cortical atrophy increases step velocity in humans.

   “The PCA group walked faster, spent more minutes walking, took more steps and walking bouts per day ( p <0.01 for all) than the LBD group”
