Acute and Chronic Effect of Acoustic and Visual Cues on Gait Training in Parkinson’s Disease: A Randomized, Controlled Study

Table 5

Effect of visual cues on gait parameters: kinematic analysis of gait was performed in uncued conditions at baseline (T0), at the end of the 4-week rehabilitation period (T1), and at a 3-month follow-up (T2). Data are expressed as mean ± sd.
