Short title used by the registry

The effectiveness of different modalities of cueing in overground walking in people with Parkinson*s disease

Original description

Intervention: Patients walk with external rhythmic cues Primary outcome: Main study parameter for gait pattern: Stride length, stride frequency and walking speed. Secondary outcome: Parameters for differences in gait stability: Center of mass velocity, center of mass medio-lateral deviation, interstep time variability. Next to these secondary outcome parameters, interlimb coordination will be assessed. Descriptive study parameters: - Clinical characteristics: Unified Parkinson*s Disease Rating Scale, - Walking performance: 10 meter walk test; freezing of Gait Questionnaire - Balance performance: Single leg stance test - Duration of the disease
