Abstract
Discussion Mean velocity and cadence increased as the frequency of the cues increased; and decreased as the frequency of the cues decreased; except for 92.5% of preferred pace. Mean stride length remained stable regardless of the frequency of the cues. Therefore auditory cues appear to affect temporal parameters of gait and have little effect on spatial parameters. Auditory cues using a frequency at 85% of preferred pace appear to have a therapeutic effect by decreasing cadence and thus velocity of gait in subjects with Parkinson’s disease.
