Abstract
The study was aimed at evaluating effectiveness of the method of tempo-rhythmic correction (TRC) of gait in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in terms of main motor symptoms of the disorder. The following methods were used: a step-speed performance assessment device, a method of TRC of gait elaborated by our group, and a questionnaire of quality of life for patients with PD (PDQ-39). It was shown that the TRC method could improve gait in PD patients, increase quality of their life and reduce the pharmaco-economic burden. We suggest the existence of a possible neuroprotective effect of the TRC method in view of increased intervals between consecutive stages of PD and later occurrence of new disease symptoms in patients undergoing respective courses of treatment.
