At present, few validated clinical tests provide the assessment of mobility in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) during the execution of complex tasks. To verify the feasibility of a virtual environment based on a Microsoft Kinect sensor as a tool to evaluate the functional mobility of people with PD. An analytical, observational and transversal pilot study was held. The sample consisted of 12 patients with PD and 12 healthy young adults. All participants were evaluated on gait tests and in the virtual environment. The System Usability Scale (SUS) was applied to the PD group to evaluate the virtual environment usability. Significant differences were found in groups' performance in the virtual environment. Regular and strong relations were found on patients' performance on gait tests and virtual environment tests. The virtual environment usability was considered acceptable among patients with PD. The virtual environment developed is potentially viable as a functional mobility assessment tool for patients with PD.

Exceptional points (EPs) are critical points in the parameter space of non-Hermitian systems, where two or more eigenvalues and eigenvectors simultaneously coalesce. The remarkable physics and behavior of waves at these EPs have raised considerable attention. Previous research has accessed EPs in parity-time (PT) symmetric systems through spatially modulated parameters. Using acoustics, this Letter demonstrates a different family of EPs in classical wave systems that emerge from coordinated modulation of mass density and loss/gain in time. This condition can create nonreciprocal coupling between arbitrary modes at the EPs, leading to exotic behaviors such as unilateral frequency conversion and linear amplification of waves that are unattainable at conventional time-invariant systems. Moreover, these phenomena can be attained with only loss, and acoustic gain via modal energy transfer is demonstrated in a loss-only system at such EPs. Our work marries time-varying systems with EPs, which could open new avenues for wave manipulation.
We theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate nonlocal metasurfaces rationally designed using symmetry-breaking principles to manipulate the optical wavefront with a geometric phase selective to custom ellip...
