Musically cued gait-training improves both perceptual and motor timing in Parkinson's disease

It is well established that auditory cueing improves gait in patients with Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease (IPD). Disease-related reductions in speed and step length can be improved by providing rhythmical auditory cues via a metronome or music. However, effects on cognitive aspects of motor control...
