Summary

\[year1\]

1. To compare the effects of dual-task training with two different task priority instruction in people with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls on dual-task weight shifting performances.
2. Investigate the changes of brain activities and functional connectivity after dual-task training with different task priority instructions.

\[year 2-3\]

To investigate the learning effects of walking with internal/external focus on walking automaticity and brain plasticity in dual-task walking training for PD patients with/without freezing of gait.
