Interventions

  • Self Cueing Training — BEHAVIORAL
    Group classes led by a music therapist and using singing as a self-generated cue, with a focus on rhythm perception, rhythm generation and synchronization of movement to rhythms.
  • External Cueing Training — BEHAVIORAL
    Group classes led by a music therapist and using music as an external cue, with a focus on rhythm perception, rhythm generation and synchronization of movement to rhythms.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare to rhythm-based walking interventions to enhance gait in people with Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does rhythm-based training influence walking performance? * How does brain activity change following rhythm-based training? Participants will perform walking to music and walking while singing, and will train on the use of these rhythms for 12 weeks. The investigators will compare the effects of training with music to training with singing.
