About

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effects of music, tailored to the participant's cadence, on adherence, quality of life, gait speed, functional mobility, and walking activity in individuals with Parkinson disease when used in the home and community environment.

Full description

Persons with Parkinson disease will be enrolled to determine the effects of a community walking program with a music-based device on adherence, quality of life, walking speed and walking activity. The walking program will be carried out independently by participants in their home/community environment. Noninvasive functional assessments commonly administered in clinical practice will be used to measure the variables of interest.
