Tamir et al. (2007) [39] | Exper. = 12 PD | 67.4 ± 9.7 | 7.4 ± 3.1
2.29 ± 0.4 | Combination of imagery + PT |
>60/2/12 | Significant improvements for the Exper. group in TUG time (decrease 2.5 sec.), getting up from supine (decrease 1.5 sec.), and 360-degree turn. Significant improvement in UPDRS mental section (from 2.1 to 1.2 points). | No |
| Control = 11 PD | 67.4 ± 9.1 | 7.8 ± 4.5
2.31 ± 0.4 | Only PT | No parallel changes in the control group. |

Most < 3 | PT + imagery | 60/1/6 | No significant differences between the groups. General trend in favour of Exper. group. | No |

PT | 60/5/8 | Significantly greater improvement of UPDRS motor section in the Exper. group after training (51.78% versus 35.24%) and at FU (30.82% versus 21.42%). | 12 weeks |

+ PT
Landscape observation
+ PT | 60/3/4 | Significant improvement in both groups of motor performance (UPDRS-III, TUG, 10 M-WT) and quality of life (PDQ-39) after training and at FU.
FOG-Q and number of FOG episodes significantly reduced in both groups after training, but only in Exper. group at FU. | 4 weeks |
