Exploring maintenance of spatiotemporal gait parameters during internal and external rhythmic auditory cueing in Parkinson's disease

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate how different auditory cueing strategies affect gait parameters in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
• Explored internal and external rhythmic auditory cueing methods.
• Assessed spatiotemporal gait parameters during cued walks.
• Compared effects of moderate and adaptive cueing strategies.
• Moderate auditory cues may enhance gait stability during cued walks.
• Adaptive cueing strategies showed promise in minimizing gait decrements.
• Further research is needed to optimize cue-based gait training.
