PHYSIOLOGICAL RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT AUDITORY rhythm has a profound
effect on the motor system. Evidence shows that the auditory and motor system have a rich …

Physiotherapy is widely used in Parkinson's disease (PD), but there are few controlled
studies comparing active interventions. Recently, a technique named “LSVT® BIG” has been …

People with Parkinson's disease (PD) have difficulty learning new motor skills. Evidence
suggests external stimuli (cues) may enhance learning; however, this may be specific to …

Background. Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling impairment for people with Parkinson's
disease (PD) and may not respond to medications. The effectiveness of physical therapy for …

This study explored the viability and efficacy of integrating cadence‐matched, salient music
into a walking intervention for patients with Parkinson′ s disease (PD). Twenty‐two people …

Shuffling and freezing wh ile walking can impair function in pati ents wi th Parki nson d
isease (PD). Open-loop devices that provide fixed-velocity visual or auditory cues can …

Background: About 50% of the patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from
freezing of gait (FOG), which is a sudden and transient inability to walk. It often causes falls …

Ford MP, Malone LA, Nyikos I, Yelisetty R, Bickel CS. Gait training with progressive external
auditory cueing in persons with Parkinson's disease. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the …

Auditory cueing enhances gait in parkinsonian patients. Our aim was to evaluate its effects
on spatiotemporal (stride length, stride time, cadence, gait speed, single and double support …

Background. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are encouraged to stay active to
maintain their mobility. Ambulatory activity monitoring (AM) provides an objective way to …
