An Interview with Dr. Kilner: the Science behind Parkinson's

youtu.be/Tpl9xtCnEqI(Not working as expected?)

We sat with Professor James Kilner to discuss his research on the Active Inference Theory. This is an ongoing research topic, and we hope to see the understanding of how vibration and sensory modulation improve movement difficulties grow as it becomes a more widely appreciated phenomenon in the academic and clinical fields.

00:00 Introduction

00:49 What are beta waves?

02:13 What is the Active Inference theory?

06:08 How can the Active Inference theory be applied to movement?

07:55 What clinical support do you have for this theory?

08:56 How does this theory apply to those with Parkinson’s?

10:41 Can you influence the sensory signal weighting?

12:17 Has vibration been used to treat Parkinson’s in the past?

12:54 What do you think of devices based on the Active Inference theory?

Thank you for sharing the video.

Beta burst dynamics in Parkinson's disease OFF and ON dopaminergic medication

Here, we show that pathological brain waves tend to come in long bursts in people with Parkinson’s disease, and that a burst at one site in the brain circuits controlling movement is likely to be associated with bursts elsewhere in the movement circuits. The duration and spread of these bursts is governed by dopamine, a chemical messenger that is deficient in Parkinson’s.

Reduction of spontaneous cortical beta bursts in Parkinson’s disease is linked to symptom severity

This sounds similar to epilepsy, like an electrical impulse discharge, ie static electricity and you get shocked. This would really shift the paradigm of PD.

I just realised this recording is on the Charco tech web page, when the company are explaining about the research behind the Cue 1 device.

It is definitely making a difference to my husbands walking pattern. He never has freezing but found it difficult to keep up a natural rhythm whilst walking. According to their website they are trying to make it more available to as many PWP but they are still only a small company in the U.K.
