Interactive Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation Reinstates Natural 1/f Timing in Gait of Parkinson's Patients

MJ Hove, K Suzuki, H Uchitomi, S Orimo, Y Miyake - PloS one, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Parkinson's disease (PD) and basal ganglia dysfunction impair movement timing, which
leads to gait instability and falls. Parkinsonian gait consists of random, disconnected stride …

Persistent fluctuations in stride intervals under fractal auditory stimulation

V Marmelat, K Torre, PJ Beek, A Daffertshofer - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Stride sequences of healthy gait are characterized by persistent long-range correlations,
which become anti-persistent in the presence of an isochronous metronome. The latter …

[HTML][HTML] Gait improvement via rhythmic stimulation in Parkinson's disease is linked to rhythmic skills

SD Bella, CE Benoit, N Farrugia, PE Keller, H Obrig… - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Training based on rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) can improve gait in patients with

Biologically-variable rhythmic auditory cues are superior to isochronous cues in fostering natural gait variability in Parkinson's disease

DG Dotov, S Bayard, VC de Cock, C Geny, V Driss… - Gait & posture, 2017 - Elsevier
Introduction Rhythmic auditory cueing improves certain gait symptoms of Parkinson's

The influence of auditory-motor coupling on fractal dynamics in human gait

N Hunt, D McGrath, N Stergiou - Scientific reports, 2014 - nature.com
Humans exhibit an innate ability to synchronize their movements to music. The field of gait
rehabilitation has sought to capitalize on this phenomenon by invoking patients to walk in …

Beyond the metronome: auditory events and music may afford more than just interval durations as gait cues in Parkinson's disease

MWM Rodger, CM Craig - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Among the most apparent and adverse symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are
disturbances in gait. These include shuffling (small amplitude steps), instability (asymmetry …
