Summary

In this study, 51 subjects include 17 freezers,17 non-freezers and 17 aged-matched healthy subjects will be recruited. We will compare the cortical excitability, gait performance, and stepping-in-place performance before and after intervention of auditory cues combined with gait training. The cortical excitability will be assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The purpose in this study is to investigate the effects of auditory cues with gait training on cortical excitability and rhythmic movements in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Treadmill training with auditory cues

Participants should walk on the treadmill according to the rhythmic auditory cues (110% step frequency) for 30 min

OTHER

Treadmill training without auditory cues

Participants should walk in comfortable speed on the treadmill for 30 min.
