Summary

The first aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a gait training using treadmill with visual and auditory cues in patients in stages IV Hoehn \& Yahr (H\&Y). The second aim was to compare the obtained data of these patients in advanced stages with those in mild to moderate stages.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

treadmill training with cues

20-minutes treadmill training per day, 6 times a week, for 4 weeks. Treadmill speed was previously set at 2.0 km/h and progressively increased until a maximum of 3.5 km/h, taking always into account the patients' physical abilities. All patients were evaluated at the enrolment and at the end of the 4-weeks treatment. The first evaluation consisted in one-minute walking on treadmill without the use of cues at 1.5 km/h speed, for all patients. The outcome measurements were: the average length of the right step, the average length of the left step, the coefficient of variance of both steps, and the gait cycle.
