Rhythmic auditory cues improve gait asymmetry during unobstructed walking in people with Parkinson’s disease but have no effect on obstacle avoidance - AsymmGait-Parkinson study

IntroductionThis study investigated the influence of rhythmic auditory cues (RAC) on gait asymmetry (GA) during unobstructed and obstacle avoidance walking in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and neurologically healthy individuals.MethodsThirteen individuals with PD (70.33 ± 6.02 years) and 13 h...
