In movement disorders, neuropsychological factors play an important yet overlooked role in locomotion. Given that walking is almost always driven by function and goal-directed behaviors (e.g., in something as simplistic as a turn), aspects of perception, planning, processing capacity, and even emotion/anxiety drive need to be carefully considered and potentially treated for their great potential to influence locomotor behaviors in gait disorders.
