The Effectiveness of Utilizing a Combination of External Visual and Auditory Cues as a Gait Training Strategy in a Pharmaceutically Untreated Patient with Parkinson’s Disease: A Case Report

Published in Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics, official journal of the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy.

“These data suggest that, in this particular patient, even without medication, training with external cues increased gait velocity and ambulatory distance, as well as reduced freezing episodes. These data also suggest that utilizing combined visual and auditory cues during gait was more effective than utilizing only a visual cue in increasing velocity and distance ambulated, as well as decreasing the frequency of freezing episodes per trial.”
