Brain dysfunction in gait disorders of Caribbean atypical Parkinsonism and progressive supranuclear palsy patients: A comparative study

Résumé

Gait disorders and falls occur early in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP-RS) and Caribbean atypical parkinsonism (Caribbean AP). However, the link between these signs and brain lesions has never been explored in these patient populations. Here, we investigate and compare the imaging factors that relate to gait and balance disorders in Caribbean AP and PSP-RS patients. Methods: We assessed gait and balance using clinical scales and gait recordings in 16 Caribbean AP and 15 PSP-RS patients and 17 age-matched controls. We measured the grey and white matter brain volumes on 3 T brain MRI images. We performed a principal component analysis (PCA) including all the data to determine differences and similarities between groups, and explore the relationship between gait disorders and brain volumes. Results: Both Caribbean AP patients and PSP-RS have marked gait and balance disorders with similar severity. In both groups, gait and balance disorders were found to be most strongly related to structural changes in the lateral cerebellum, caudate nucleus, and fronto-parietal areas. In Caribbean AP patients, gait disorders were also related to additional changes in the cortex, including frontal, insular, temporal and cuneus lobes, whereas in PSP-RS patients, additional white matter changes involved the mesencephalon and parahippocampal gyrus. Conclusion: Gait and balance disorders in Caribbean AP patients are mainly related to dysfunction of cortical brain areas involved in visuo-sensorimotor processing and self-awareness, whereas these signs mainly result from premotor-brainstem-cerebellar network dysfunction in PSP-RS patients, brain areas involved in initiation and maintenance of locomotor pattern and postural adaptation.
